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?

Iceland is the global leader on gender equality; it tops the global gender gap rankings, and it has done so for fourteen consecutive years. Meaning it has the least gender pay disparity in the world. People may still say the gender pay gap is a myth. But it's not a myth; it's a reality that's stubborn and pervasive. Likewise, gender equality. It's worse in many other countries, like Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, etc. Even developed countries haven't achieved full gender equality, so we can imagine the situation of women entrepreneurs. All the above data that shows the difference solely because of gender difference is unfair.
