Topic: Entrepreneurship and women - page 17. (Read 2492 times)

It's a very interesting set of statistics and shows that there is still a little bit of balancing up to do, but progress in gender equality is strong in this field. Some traits may just be more deeply ingrained in the two different genders, like women being less arrogant about the potential success of a venture or perhaps on the last statistic - they are more likely to keep pushing at one particular type of business until it reaches success than a man who might be more switchable (which can potentially be a positive or a negative). Being more confident in success is not necessarily a positive trait in men, because it can often breed unnecessary or extra risk taking along with more wasteful behavior.

In this 21st century women have more knowledge so they have awareness about becoming an entrepreneur can give the financial freedom but from my observation majority of them or not willing to come out of their comfort zone so called salary which is like they are more conservative and not ready to take high risky decision because it may even affect their family as well but over time everything will change so one who have the skills will become one irrespective of what gender they are.

This situation is not only limited to a specific period in the history of Russia (the Soviet Union), but even in our present era, and in the most advanced countries, you will not find that the number of women in business exceeds the number of men, even if the proportion of women in the population is the largest.
It is not only limited to determining the role of women in the affairs of the home and family. There are many areas in which we almost never find women. For example, the building and construction sector has no women investors at all, as well as mining and the production of solid materials. These are all sectors in which women have no luck without a valid reason.

I think men gravitate towards numbers and statistics. While women trend towards being more emotional and intuitive. Different mentalities and tendencies spanning genders have their pros and cons.

The biggest obstacle for women being successful entrepreneurs is the lack of peer support. The closest thing to positive reinforcement most women have are lamebrained memes that tell them to follow their passion in business. Most women never see the hours entrepreneurs put in to be successful behind the scenes.

Women love action. The mundane reality of sitting for hours discussing vaporware theories of business, finance and economics is something they might find boring. There aren't many women who would find those types of discussions interesting. Most men thoroughly enjoy that type of debate. The way that they enjoy analyzing and arguing over statistics in sports.

Men's natural tendencies make it easier for them to pursue a future in business. Women have some advantages over men. But I think it could be safe to say most women get bored with the technical side of things.

It's not accurate to label people based on their gender. In entrepreneurship area there aren't men or women, but entrepreneur individuals. There are individuals who are prone to engage in leading positions and develop their own businesses and there are others who don't have any desire or aptness for that function, so they work for another entrepreneurs, doesn't matter what their gender is.

I know there are many women running their own businesses, while there are many others working for companies leaded by men. The opposite is also true.

Like @DrBeer firstly said on this thread, thankfully nowadays people have freedom and right to work on the field they want, pursuing the career and lifestyle they think it's the most benefical and rewarding for themselves.

Being a entrepreneur needs a mind thta has the will power to withstand at any situation and come out with the best. Very few stay long while the majority drops in between. Nowadays it is possible to see Women crypto entrepreneurs which is really appreciable. In several occasions men try to suppress or doesn't help her make her dreams come true. This need to change.

Honestly in todays time, we can say that the equality has been there and the problem about the subject of women vs men has started to be off and not sensitive topic anymore.

It's because whatever men does, women tend to do it and that's just equal. But I think, that it's not all about competition but many women won't be a housewife material anymore.

They can do whatever we do and being an entrepreneur, they can do that as well and those that are struggling will do whatever it takes for them to survive.

So, if we see more women shifting into being entrepreneurs, it doesn't really matter IMO.

in every country different rules that the government applies to women but for my own country there are none, so that between women and men have the same rights and there are no special rules, and the impact of the equal rights can be said 35% of macro businesses have been carried out by a woman and most women running micro-enterprises it is 40-45% higher, but basically in business and work men dominate because 70% of women in my country prefer to be housewives
this is my personal opinion by looking at the environment around me

I am not ready to say about the reasons, within the framework of the whole world, I can only say about the reasons that were definitely earlier in the country where I was born. I was born in the USSR. Unfortunately. But now I understand better what evil is fraught with totalitarian regimes, where rights and freedoms are an empty phrase.

In the USSR, nominally and "indicatively" women had the same "rights" as men. But besides the fact that in the USSR people did not have rights, there was always a rather arrogant attitude towards women. No, of course there were women - "exhibition specimens", but in 99% of cases, they were citizens who were rather limited in their abilities. All this was based on a historical "habit" that a woman is, at best, a housewife and nothing more. In the USSR, they tried to show that they had already got rid of the "tired legacy of the tsarist regime", but it turned out extremely badly ... Where women succeeded as much as possible " realize themselves" and reach some heights - there were purely humanitarian areas - kindergartens, schools, hospitals. And then with reservations. And these complexes remained even among those who were born in the 70s+.
I am very glad that the USSR - the "prison of peoples" - ceased to exist, and people received FREEDOM and RIGHTS. Now in Ukraine there are a huge number of women entrepreneurs, owners of medium-sized businesses, in senior positions in large companies, etc.

I want to start a discussion highlighting some points I read online regarding women as compared to men in entrepreneurship and the chance of success.


As a result of the difficult economic times, do you consider that there will be more women entrepreneurs competing with men in this field which it so looks like they currently dominate?
