Description

The data on women's involvement in the business sector highlights the gender disparity in global entrepreneurship.

Summary


This data focuses on the significance of women's economic empowerment and the challenges in accurately measuring the gender gap in entrepreneurship due to the lack of standardized and comparable data across countries. It introduces a new approach to measuring entrepreneurial activity, highlighting the representation of women as business owners, directors, and sole proprietors.

It reveals that women represent only a quarter of new business owners and directors, and a third of sole proprietors, indicating a persistent and stable gender gap in entrepreneurship over the years. The methodology section discusses data collection from business registries and statistical agencies, and the difficulties encountered, including infrastructure limitations and COVID-19 disruptions.

It also notes the regional differences in data availability, with Europe and Central Asia having more accessible gender-disaggregated entrepreneurship data compared to Latin America and the Caribbean.
