not all men's businesses can be run by women and vice versa, not all businesses run by women can be run by men, Apart from that, the support from partners, family and relatives that each woman has is very different, while men do have a natural ability to earn money either by working for a company or setting up their own business, so we will always see a very big difference between male entrepreneurs and female entrepreneurs. However, i see that things like this are actually not that crucial, we won't be able to see equality, especially when it comes to gender.

The reason for those differences are biological and rooted in evolution. From the dawn of time, men had to earn their value by proving their better than everyone else (i.e. to attract females and pass on their genes), while women were born valuable. This resulted with men being much more keen on taking risks, while women usually prefer much safer options (i.e. working in a steady job). And there's nothing wrong with that.
So, in terms of entrepreneurship, men go for it naturally, even everyone around advises them not to, while women need to be encouraged and get support in going that route.
But yeah, since virtually all developed countries are pushing for gender equality (of outcome), then we'll likely to continue seeing special programmes to help women start their businesses, and those differences will be shrinking at least a little bit.

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.

Quote

Men and women do not prepare for the launch of their business in the same way. The number one preparatory activity for women is specific training (43.3% versus 31.8% for men). Men are looking for potential clients (45.8%) and writing a business plan (42.5% versus 34.6% for women).

Market research is carried out by about 1/3 of men and 1/4 of women.

Women entrepreneurs are much less experienced than their male counterparts: 37.5% have less than 3 years of experience versus 25.7% of men.

82.5% of women start businesses alone (compared to 69.8% of men)

Men consider that they are more entrepreneurial than women (84.7% of men against 72% of women)

Men have much more confidence in the future than women (48.2% of women vs. 64.7% of men)

Men are clearly more confident in the success of their company than women: 72.4% versus 65.3

There are far more unemployed women than men among entrepreneurs: 25.9% versus 16.9

Women are 3 times less likely than men to have already tried the adventure of creating a business: only 5.3% of women had already created a business against 18.4% of men

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?

Making entrepreneurship will not be complete without the role of women in full participation, there are categories that we could have these into and women specifically have their own areas of specializations ones it comes to an enterprise discussion affairs, they like making business and probably this is under the fact that they dislike loosing money, instead they will be fully involved in anything that could make them earn than loosing.

Men and women are different and there's a reason vast majority of entrepreneurs are men. Although there is a large number of women having "their own" businesses, especially in female dominated sectors such as hairdressers and alike, child minders etc, but the vast majority of larger enterprises are started by men. What's funny, there are still people blaming sexism for that disproportion, despite the fact that you don't need anyone's permission to become entrepreneur.
What's also interesting, is that even the small portion of women who decided to go that route is still different than their male counterparts as per OP's stats.

Many women running their own businesses sucessfully. In my opinion women are the better entrepreneurs than men because for them success is not only about profits. scientifically Women are more emotional and intuitive then men.They believe that giving back to society and becoming social entrepreneurs That's why we should support and motivate upcoming generation mostly women and girls for entrepreneurship. There are one more benefit if we support them in entrepreneurship they care about the social impact of their enterprise which ia more beneficial for them as well as country's economy.

I think that when it comes to business matters, it is no longer a question of whether the owner of the business is a woman or a man. The question is, are they able to grow the business they manage? Though, if I look at the history of business around the world, the majority of business owners are men.

If we also look based on history in terms of handling financials in business, women are more in agreement with my research that I discovered.

Gender equality must be emphasized more so that women can also progress and become business leaders, even if sometimes they have to be a little pushy. because many women still have the mindset that women are created to be followers, not those in front.

I believe that if every woman has the ability to act, act and create, the world will experience real change, including in business. So women and men should support each other, not refute each other. Because actually supporting each other is a great strength, not being afraid of being rivaled or competing.

Business is not all about ability, because business need the world/society to sell the products. This is the reason of why gender is always an issue when we discuss about entrepreneurship, because business people have to interact with people / society. it's not a secret that women have low acceptance is some society, despite their ability in business equal to men.

There is no doubt that many women have quality to be in business leaders, but their struggle to compete is a real thing till current era. Gender equality should be something keeps being emphasized, so then women in business is something normal.

Yes, I agree with this, whether it is a man or a woman when they can and are able to run their business well then it is something good. Not everyone can manage their business well, thus I can say that those who can run their business well are people who have above average abilities, although I know that people's abilities must be different.
From what I've seen, many of the business owners are men, I think it's because they have more freedom of movement. For example, when a woman is pregnant, she will be forced not to move as freely. But I also believe there is a role for women in the smooth running of their business, be it family or maybe employees.

In my opinion, pregnancy is not a condition that makes a woman unable to move freely in running her business. And if you are still hampered by problems like this, then what is the role and function of organizational structure in a company? As long as someone has good management in running their business, and also has a strong and solid organizational structure, then this is not a significant problem, because with a strong organizational structure they will always be able to work together well and complement each other.

What can really limit someone from moving and getting involved directly in running a business, is when someone has been diagnosed with a serious illness so that they are really restricted from living their daily life and have to focus on their recovery. So like it or not, when someone already has a business, he must entrust his business to people who can be trusted and are capable of being responsible.

They just became in love and they don't realize how tough life it is when they're not yet seeing the reality of life.
That's fine because they will learn it all along their married life and that's going to take them a few months for the reality to sink in for them.
And from there, they'll have the thinking on how to deal with it, many of them are creative and have good plans just like the success stories that I have read.

It all really depends on what the husband can do because it's clear that women face some limitations that prevent them from advancing as much as men do.

Women can have menstrual periods, get pregnant, typically have less physical strength than men, and take care of babies after giving birth. This shows that for a husband to truly succeed in entrepreneurship after marriage, he should possess considerable strength in terms of mindset, physical energy, and mental resilience. Meanwhile, the wife can act as a faithful supporter and a source of encouragement.

It seems like it would be better if family members support each other and work together.

Yeah, those natural things that happens to them and that's hard to continue when they're dealing with them. But what I like with them is on how quick to adjust they are.
And that is because with things and such, even with those circumstances, they're able to make themselves comfortable and keep going on with what they have been working on.

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?

Prof. James Flynn, an American authority on intelligence study, claims that women have a higher intelligence quotient(IQ) than men. He pointed out that women consistently scored higher than men when the test was comducted in Europe, the US, Canada, and New Zealand.
In as much as it is believed that women has the higher IQ and are probably smarter than men (although not scientifically proven) men have proven to be dominating the business area. I mean look at the richest entrepreneurs, they're mostly men.

I'm not saying women are not amazing entrepreneurs but I'm just saying that, in my observation, men have already dominated that field and still doing a great job

But most of the women who marry are under the age of 18 so they no longer pursue a career and lose their dreams. This is like what is happening right now in my country. because this is the reason why many entrepreneurs are still filled by men.

For some reasons, they lose the urge to continue with their studies and that's because of the responsibility of being a married woman at a younger age.
But I've seen with the same situations that have never gave up and still pursued their dreams and achieved their goals. It's not just all about studies but also by being a working person or establishing their business which we usually see that there's women empowerment in that area.

In such cases, the place and environment where those who do not give up live are also very important. Women's ability to earn income without being dependent on anyone and to find a place in society is directly proportional to the education of the society. In uneducated societies, it is very difficult for women to achieve what we say. Even if they try hard, they may not succeed, but it is easier for women to become entrepreneurs in societies with high education levels.

In some states, women entrepreneurs are supported. I have seen many female entrepreneurs running their businesses thanks to these supports. Education helps society overcome many negative situations.

Those who do not want a society to develop prefer to attack their education first. Education should be one of the things we need to protect the most.

In terms of opportunities for entrepreneurship, currently women are no different from men so it is very natural for them to be supported by their families and people around them. Because to become an entrepreneur we actually have to be supported by our own abilities so that we can compete with other entrepreneurs in the same field. And usually women who get more support from the family and people around them will find it a little easier to develop in their entrepreneurial field.

If that's your question. This means that it is not equality or social culture that is the problem. So there is no reason why so few women are entrepreneurs through no fault of men today.

The cause is more due to the personal qualities of the woman herself, which is strengthened by what you explain and also the ease of getting support from the family. But most of the women who marry are under the age of 18 so they no longer pursue a career and lose their dreams. This is like what is happening right now in my country. because this is the reason why many entrepreneurs are still filled by men.

Entrepreneurship is a skill anyone can acquire whether a male or female. Women are mostly supported by there family to get something doing just like the males too. This is a personal concept because there are some persons that so much believe developing there own business and make money for themselves rather than looking for jobs and having boses that would determine how they work and how much they will be earning.

There are people that don't have problem getting a job but will never want to get a job. They would rather want to create there own business and make money for themselves by being an entrepreneur with the vision to develop there business to a success rate.

I don't think they are ready to build a family. It was just a result of how early they are open into relationship and that resulted to early pregnancy and marriage.

I tend to think that when some young women intend to marry at a young age, it's because they may feel they have no more career prospects and are leaning on their new husband to provide for the family. We all know that pregnant mothers have physical limitations, making it hard for them to engage in strenuous work. This means that the pregnant woman's job will be simplified, and the husband will have to work harder to earn a substantial income to support both.

Indeed, there are women with a very liberal lifestyle who end up getting pregnant first and then decide to marry their partner. That falls into the darker side of social circles... there are many reasons why women choose to marry at a young age, including family responsibilities, parental wishes, religious beliefs, the attraction of wealthy men, and many more.

Not all couples decide to have children right away, like me and my wife, we decided to have children after 4 years of marriage. Simply because we both agree that we need to be economically stable before having children. Furthermore, it is not because women want to rely on someone that they decide to get married. Marriage is the result of beautiful love and it will come when your love is great enough to bind both of you.
Currently we have 2 children but my wife does not need my money to support the family, she has her own business and is capable of taking care of the family. I rarely have to give my wife money every month to take care of my children. My wife takes charge and manages family expenses while I am in charge of expanding the business and accumulating inheritance for our children. Don't think women today are so weak.

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

Even today women are given more rights than men. As long as they have the ability and ability to take on the responsibility, they can do anything that we men can do.

Yeah it's said that what men can do women can do more better, but talking about right am not sure, Why making it look bad, like in my area women are given lesser privilege so I see women fighting through for example, when we come to the politics asspet women are not given the privilege just like what happened early march in my country a lady won the governorship election but she was not given the power to rule. But in business asspet everyone is given equal right to own and manage a business so it all depends on the person.

For starters, these numbers are subjective and can be said to be biased as this sample data is based on a certain small number of people and probably of a country that could have different laws and regulations that can favour one gender over the other in trying to get both working equally. Another factor that might be overlooked when it comes to entrepreneurship is religion, but let's face it , as much as we want to have every gender equally participating as entrepreneurs, unfortunately it's much easier for women to excel as they don't get the tough jobs, the system is built to protect them more than the men... otherwise I would say we getting close to the 50% work opportunities for all with time.

For women who choose to marry at a young age, they are definitely ready to build their family, so they prefer to marry at a young age, but in my opinion, in terms of pursuing their dreams, they certainly have to get support from their husbands and if given permission by their husbands, they definitely they will be able to divide their time for their family and also for the dreams they want to achieve and I am sure they can do it if they are disciplined in dividing the time they have.

A girl getting married at a young age means that she gets busy with the family. When a girl gets married at a young age, she has no focus on anything other than her family, so many things she wants to do before marriage, but not after marriage. But girls who go ahead to fulfill their dreams and work with their goals in mind can definitely do a lot of good things at some point in life. I have seen many girls who run a big store, I have seen many girls who control traffic, I have seen many girls who work in construction, and I have seen many girls who work as bank managers. That is, if a girl tries and has full focus on the target, then she can definitely reach her goal. If a girl gets married after completing her education then she can definitely fulfill her goal but if a girl gets married while studying then she will not have education and will not fulfill her dreams.
