Measuring Women Entrepreneurship
Women are one of the most relevant untapped resources for entrepreneurship. Very little is known about the economic relevance of women’s entrepreneurship, about the policy instruments that are effective in raising entrepreneurship rates among women, and about the economy-wide effects of higher participation of women in entrepreneurial activity. The policy rationale for the development of women’s entrepreneurship was traditionally focused on women’s equality and empowerment, and social inclusion (Lotti, 2006). Only in the more recent years, it has become clear that women entrepreneurs create new jobs for themselves and others and [...] can provide society with different perspectives and approaches to management, organisation and business issues (OECD, 2004).
