Entrepreneurship and women

[Mahanton]

Men are men and women are women. The country, government, cultures, policies and all those things.

True they are different in gender but they are both human.  They have the capacity to think and decide things for themselves.  They have traits which somehow the same and different but I do not think that gender dictates the success of a person being an entrepreneur.  There are women who excel in one category while males excel in other categories and this rating changes between gender every year.  This simply means that gender is not the based for entrepreneurship but rather the dedication and passion of a person towards his goal.

Gender inequality and discrimination is something that wont really be something shocking or new thing on this world and whenever genre or area on which women is something that been looked down but we know that
there are certain industries on which women is really that something successful compared to men which does proves out that gender isnt a hindrance.Certain industries and companies have really that women been the ones who had been that handling on which means that it isnt really that limited on what they can do.It is really just that the community is really that too judgmental when it comes to gender on which they do
believe that women cant do anything and this is why they would really be having this common saying but they had proven out them wrong. Lots had been success on different fields
and this is why it isnt really right on having this kind of treatment to them.

There’s a book that recently launched by CNBC correspondent Julia Boorstin call “ When Women Lead”, which I think is a great book for anyone interested in this topic, and learning about how women “lead” in business , which also looks in to how women are often overlooked and undervalued/underpaid.

“About the Book
Julia Boorstin was thirteen when her mother told her that, by the time she grew up, women could be just as powerful as men, “captains of industry, running the biggest companies!” A decade later, working at a top business publication and seeing the dearth of women in positions of leadership, Boorstin assumed her mom had been wrong. But over the following two decades as a TV reporter and creator of CNBC’s Disruptor 50 franchise, interviewing, and studying thousands of executives, she realized that a gender-equity utopia shouldn’t be a pipe dream. Yes, women faced massive social and institutional headwinds, and struggled with double standards and what psychologists call “pattern matching.” Yet those who thrived, Boorstin found, shared key commonalities that made them uniquely equipped to lead, grow businesses, and navigate crises. They were highly adaptive to change, deeply empathetic in their management style, and much more likely to integrate diverse points of view into their business strategies, filling voids that their male counterparts had overlooked for generations. By utilizing those strengths, they had invented new business models, disrupted industries, and made massive profits along the way”. - https://juliaboorstin.com/the-book/

The more technology develops, the greater the opportunities for doing business, women can have careers with small businesses that are built using the facilities available on social media. Human rights have given equality to men and women in careers through entrepreneurship and politics, in several countries there are so many women who occupy parliament and some have even been president.
Women have a selling point in doing business compared to men, their appearance has an attractiveness that can increase the number of consumers, this is common in various countries. Not infrequently women are also used as media for product promotion from a company, women can be a threat to men in doing business. In the area where I live, there are many female entrepreneurs who employ men. This phenomenon cannot be denied. Women have transformed well in improving the economy.

You are talking about "some" of the nations, sure in the western world it's like that, but in some other nations it's not like that at all. I have seen nations where a whole family of boys grow up and marry woman and they all live in the same house and they end up working all together, which allows the woman only to cook and clean the house, and the men to go out and earn money. They do end up making a good chunk of money that way because it's all together, but at the same time it's not freedom that we are talking about for woman in that case.

This is why I believe that it's going to be a bit harder to make it work, it's going to cause a bit of trouble and when that is an issue we are going to just look at west and say how lovely that is, but that's just one part of the world.

It is possible that women might dominate entrepreneurship due to the fact that women nowadays is given equal rights same as men. Women today are independent and now can provide more to the family while being a homemaker.

In this present time, women are not behind in any way compared to men. Women are working in harmony with men inside and outside the home. Women are doing the same things that men are doing successfully. Nowadays women are directly connected with various business organizations. Currently we are seeing more women entrepreneurs than men. The main reason for women's upliftment is to ensure adequate opportunities for women compared to men. Governments of almost every country are providing various opportunities to women for the advancement of women as a result of which women are now working in tandem with men. Earlier the number of female sergeants was very less but now the number of female sergeants has increased a lot. Earlier girls did not take construction as a profession but now girls are taking construction as their profession which means women have now advanced in all aspects.

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?

Point of correction OP, in this present day, entrepreneurs shouldn't talk about competition but collaboration. That is how I see it. So I would say that what I see is that the entrepreneurship sector or field is opening up to the female gender and what we would see is that there would be more collaborations between male and female entrepreneurs than competition because that is how to build a successful business.
Collaboration is the keyword.

In many countries there is a very systemic problem - the inability of the state to provide an acceptable level of social support to the population. This is pensions, this is medicine, this is financial and other support for the poor, etc.
The reason, one of the main reasons, is low tax revenues (there are many more reasons, in fact). Therefore, some states begin to "hint" - let's become entrepreneurs, continue not to pay taxes or pay the most minimal ones, and COVER your low-income or needy relatives by yourselves, and we have no money.....

We need all sort of help from the state, everybody is in life support, unable to do anything except locking up in basement, on the bed and totally unable to leave the bed, only allowed to neet their life away on what they think is legal for you to do. Pay taxes? Of course when they impose taxes on goods, it also means kid have to pay taxes too when they consume, no job and no income? That is legal but don't forget to pay taxes.

[Gozie51]

Despite that the government may corruptly embezzle tax payers money and not use it to provide social amenities for the people, we don't have to hide away from it either. What we have to do is to try and hold the government accountable by speaking out and taking them to court if the judicial system is independent and not corrupt also. Tax payment is a civic responsibility and to avoid it is a crime because government may turn around to punish people that they hold guilty of no payment.

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?

While this is saddening and all that, there are factors that lead to these statistics. For one, in the case of women entrepreneurs having a higher tendency to be unemployed compared to male entrepreneurs, the societal pressures and standards that are imposed upon women, such as caring for their kids, staying at home and all that, is a big factor why they couldn't get jobs in the first place, another would be the fact that some women aren't fit to work in a 9-5 setting cause most of them undergo larger health issues in life, just the fact that they undergo monthly periods is enough a reason for them to not choose to work especially if it's on site lol. But I see that the world is shifting to be more inclusive and progressive, so perhaps in the near future we see more women that are self-made and independent, more so able to catch up to whatever us men are doing but that's going to be a long way.

I don’t think it’s mainly about the economy of the times, I think it’s a man’s innate behavior to see himself as the head and wish to do this that helps him to maintain that spot as being the head in every societal endeavor. A man always see himself to be in the position of being the provider and that pushes him to explore his environment, making the necessary survey to search out opportunities and consider options that could make things a lot more better not just for him but, for those he feels responsible over and that includes his woman.

Majority of women buys the idea of being at the receiving end even though they happen to be generating a good enough wealth as well. They often have expectations from the male counterparts and that draws the line to what efforts they could always put in to archive goals.

[romero121]

What is there to make a compatitive move based on the gender. There is nothing as this field is for the men and that is for Women. In simple men are much used to technology related things from the beginning days. Same time Women grew up looking upon the fashion industry and brands that make big money out of beauty products. This is why we were able to see massive difference in participation of Women into cryptocurrencies much lower compared to the men. Over time this will change and specifically women entrepreneurs have been increasing as they don't like to work under someone.

Today, the number of women entrepreneurs is quite high. After the Covid period, the number of women entrepreneurs increased as a result of the emergence of new business areas with working from home in the country where I live. At the same time, women are encouraged in the field of entrepreneurship. Women, whom we did not see in a business area in the past, now exist in many business areas.

The upbringing and expectations of men and women are not the same. Even this situation pushes men and women to behave differently in entrepreneurship. But this situation that I am talking about today has now changed. Men and women can do the same with entrepreneurship.

I think they had emerged in this field long before covid, to be precise since the mainstream of product promotion started to make its way into entertainment. And most of the products that I see the most are women's equipment such as cosmetics, clothing, and food.

Of course they have more opportunities in this business where everything is closely related to the life and desires of women who spend their average time at home instead of working in an office or hard work.

Ive noticed mostly on social media that mostly those who live stream their products are women, and even on Tiktok, which means that there are really a lot of women venturing into business, though it is not just these days but even before COVID, but they are just a few, and mostly we know that it is pretty little that is doing live stream at that time for their product; COVID just boosted them and tried to do live stream to have better sales. Though right now, when it comes to business, both genders are dominating it, when it is about other work, like physically, that is where they have differences.

[Negotiation]

Currently, there are more women entrepreneurs in all types of work as the number of women entrepreneurs has increased, women entrepreneurs are doing business with success. They are creating their own employment. Women are working with various business ideas from small to big, creating a new self-identity. Many people are choosing different types of businesses to enrich their economic mobility according to the needs of the time. Again, many people are appearing in a new way with various materials made by themselves. Everyone's objective is to improve and execute their work properly.

Women find it easier to develop their business because women's needs and desires are higher than men's. This opportunity can be used by some women to open up business opportunities by offering products that women most desire. Women's lust is bigger than men's, it's no wonder why women prefer to buy new products that are viral and selling well in the market.

Online business opportunities are one of the most profitable for business women, the attractiveness they have makes it easier for businesses to develop. Very many women employ men in the businesses they start, the skills and attractiveness of women can easily expand their business.

They are creating their own employment. Women are working with various business ideas from small to big, creating a new self-identity.

In developed countries women are generally more free to move to develop any business they want and maybe because of the availability of the need for them to develop the business with the support of several other important aspects. Developing countries the availability of opportunities that are quite small for women to develop their business, thus making them a little difficulty in developing certain types of businesses. Therefore many of us encounter career women in developed countries compared to developing countries and perhaps because of many aspects that influence.

Many people are choosing different types of businesses to enrich their economic mobility according to the needs of the time. Again, many people are appearing in a new way with various materials made by themselves. Everyone's objective is to improve and execute their work properly.

More precisely developing any type of business must be adjusted to the needs of consumers and that's where we need a special survey before the business we run. Who can see opportunities then they will be able to dominate the market, so that the marketing process that we do will be much easier and will be on target.

[khiholangkang]

Wow, that number is quite fantastic, and I don't know how long this research was carried out to produce such results, but that's good, it seems from the results that men are starting to be overtaken, although they still dominate.
I think maybe this will also be influenced by the population, that today women have more population than men and added that wherever we are, gender equality of women and men is always there and introduced to all corners of the world, which maybe this also encourages or motivates women to also have space to become entrepreneurs, and I think the number will increase over time.

[Raceonsucced]

I think both men and women have an equal chance to succeed in entrepreneurial enterprises, because not all women and men are the same. You get clever open-minded men and women... and also men and women that are struggling.   

There are a lot more factors to keep in consideration to determine if someone will be successful or not... and you cannot simply look at a persons sex to see if they can succeed or not. (Example : Drive / determination / skills / experience / funding resources etc....) 

Yes, right. As long as there is a will and try their best. Men and women have the opportunity to succeed in entrepreneurship. It all depends on the desires and struggles of the person, not their gender.

[Afnan_faizah]

although man and women are different but all must be treated equally, but the word "equal" means man have more advantages than woman. man's physical body is stronger than woman, also woman sometimes need to pregnant and care about their child. but as human knowledge give us more power rather than physical body, I think as long as someone has more ability to do that job than the other then it is not a problem whether it will done by man or woman. in business world company will cooperate with someone who capable, not by gender. anyone who have the knowledge can be good entrepreneurs.
