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.
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?
https://www.intotheminds.com/blog/en/entrepreneurship-differences-women-men/ I think that the core reason why you find more men than women in most sector of the workforce is the mentality that most mem have that they are the braid winner of the home and that's what lead them to think on creative ways of making money. For the women on the other hand, as long as their husbands doing well, they can be relaxed or might just look for any small business just to keep themselves busy with.
I know that other women are doing extremely well in terms of career and in the entrepreneurial sector and this has a lot to do with there kind of environment they find themselves. There are societies and families where it is almost like a taboo for a woman to be seen working as hard as a man, some men might not even allow their wives to work in some society while in other society, they don't see anything wrong in woman working and its just a normal situation and this encourages more women to try out several entrepreneurial adventures and some of them are doing very well in those actors.
