Entrepreneurship and women

[Compromise me]

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?

Women can contribute in country's economy. Women are performing very in every field. Entrepreneurship is good for girls, we should support and motivate girls for entrepreneurship . Many women are examples of this, prety zenta is a good
example of this. Prety zenta served well for country and for poor people. Women should be independent. Women can change country's economy. Women  can support family, if they will  be independent. As a father and as a brother, we should provide support to our daughter or sister for entrepreneur ship.

The role of entrepreneurs, especially women, is of course very much needed to be able to improve the economy, currently there are many entrepreneurs from men because many people still think that women are companions for men so they feel just at home and don't need to be entrepreneurs, it's only natural that most women are single and not dependent with husbands then they can become successful entrepreneurs.

I disagree. Married or not, women have time and time again shown just how competitive and good they are in handling business and being top entrepreneurs. Being independent from men does not necessarily mean not being married or staying single, it is having their own voice and a drive to do something of their own accord. The reason why women hesitates to enter this field is not because of their marital status but the judgement and prejudice that comes from society.

Well, if women aren't fully venturing or circulated in entrepreneurship as succinctly depicted on the stats, could just be reflective of societal differences influenced by policies of respective nations.

In my opinion, using 3rd world nations as an example, especially in Africa, women are more inclined to business (SMEs) than men. However, most of their business does not transcend above SME level but the fewer percentage of men who venture into startup end up having big brands eventually.

I think the issue here is the lack of entrepreneurial education towards women (Reference to 3rd world nations). If policies are established to cater for entrepreneurial education to enhance the entrepreneurial capacities of women, they will thrive in the broader aspect of entrepreneurship.

This is my opinion and thanks for this thread.

Have you noticed how many women now run Fortune 500 companies? Have you seen them creating waves in the financial sector, the healthcare field, or anywhere else? Those who question women's financial acumen on the basis of their marital status are, to put it bluntly, stupid. Who cares if you're married or single? They are the most competent people around. It is obvious.

Let's stop the nonsense now. Prejudice in society is the true problem here. Oh, and ladies aren't holding back because they're afraid. Because of the unfair assessments, prejudices, and absurd obstacles they must overcome, they continue to succeed and cause guys like me to pause. It could be time for you to get up with the times if you don't agree with it.

The world is changing quickly and the belief for women to take over men's occupations and whatever we do are also starting to build up. In a time where grit and side hustles are being made by almost everybody. There is no exception on who can do better and that.

it's only natural that most women are single and not dependent with husbands then they can become successful entrepreneurs.

While it is odd to see men stay at home and do household chores, like that? In our country, it's all about how you take care of your relationship with your spouse/husband and how you want to deal with daily living. Gender is no longer an issue on who's going to work hard and who's going to stay at home doing chores.

Yes. true what you say. Maybe in terms of creativity and creative opportunities, women are more limited than men, but in the context of taking risks, women are more courageous than men.

Economic problems are a frightening specter, needs and expenses that are not comparable make them have to work extra hard to earn money. And in fact the average spending of women is higher than men. This is also what encourages many women to enter the business world to achieve independence and release economic dependence from a man.

You may only see women who are successful in entrepreneurship in a very small scope so you say it like this, even though if you try to explore further or more about women who are married but are still able to become women who are successful in entrepreneurship, I'm sure you will find more successful women even though they are married. Because they can help their husbands run the business run by their husbands and look after their children, they will use maids and provide expenses to take care of their children when their children are very small.

There was nothing wrong with what he said about this because in fact there was such a thing, but for now there were more and more different facts in this kind of thing. I can imagine how busy married women are every day, but on the other hand I have also seen and even seen very often women who are still creative enough to help their husbands in entrepreneurship even though they have the task of taking care of their own household. This means that this will not work the same for every woman because the mindset of each woman is also very different so that nowadays we can still find women who are successful in the field of entrepreneurship even though they already have a husband.

This is also what encourages many women to enter the business world to achieve independence and release economic dependence from a man.

What you say is also truer and has often happened nowadays because I also see many women who start to want to work in order to be able to earn an income and become independent even though they already have husbands. Because this doesn't only happen to women who are single, but this has happened to all women in various countries because they want to be more successful and independent than men.

If a woman already has a good career even when she is single, then she will definitely be able to maintain an extraordinary career even if she chooses to get married. Well, in some developed countries we are used to seeing husband and wife having their respective careers in different fields. They support each other and well, marital status really won't be a hindrance to one's career.

But there are indeed several countries where when a woman decides to get married, most of them give up their careers and focus on taking care of the household. Mostly in developing countries we can see things like this are very common. But in developed countries it seems a little different. Because a career woman can still continue her career even though she is married. She may only take time off during pregnancy and childbirth. And after that they returned to their careers.

Historically, there have been societal norms and biases that have perpetuated the dominance of men in various fields, including entrepreneurship. These norms have led to stereotypes and biases that affect women's access to funding, networking opportunities, and mentorship. As a result, women may face more hurdles when trying to enter the entrepreneurial space.
However, it's important to note that there has been a significant shift over the years. Many countries are actively working towards gender equality and removing barriers that hinder women's progress in entrepreneurship. Laws and policies are continuously evolving to provide equal opportunities for all.

To address these issues, organizations and communities around the world are focusing on empowering women in entrepreneurship. They are providing mentorship programs, educational resources, and financial support to help level the playing field. Additionally, campaigns to challenge stereotypes and promote gender equality are playing a vital role in reshaping the entrepreneurial landscape.
We still have work to do in breaking down the barriers and biases, but progress is being made. By supporting initiatives that promote gender equality, we can work towards a future where everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed in entrepreneurship, regardless of their gender.

Actually, women don't need entrepreneurial education if the man behind them helps to grow the business. In my country, a successful woman always has a man or husband that helps them as a marketer or manager. They cannot move on their own due to time and manpower constraints. they are usually married, so have to divide their time with family, so that situation, a woman still needs a man to help develop a career. In fact, women can't be successful alone without a man behind.

Historically, the more individual freedom women had, the more they excelled even over men.
The reason is because women must always work harder, never give up, be disciplined, full of innovation and also be able to be financially independent and make an economic contribution to themselves, their families or anyone who accompanies these women. And get smarter just to survive. If left unchecked, that woman would be extraordinary.
And the biggest challenge that men don't have is. They can be mothers, housewives, wives, sisters, daughters, entrepreneurs. And everything can be done simultaneously, and there are still many women who are like this and there are times when they will stop and focus on taking care of the household and children after being successful. Especially successful in finance for the comfort of living with family and also in old age.

And the same goes for men. Successful businessmen depend a lot on women who are either their executive secretaries or other executive positions to keep them in line with their goals. Women are well-known for keeping organization and multi-tasking which is vital in ensuring that everything is taken care of the business field. Hence, there is a saying that 'behind every successful man there is a powerful woman'. Hence, one can state that both needs each other is some ways.

Let's normalize that husbands are now taking care of children and doing housework while the wives are going to office work. We can see women now doing jobs that we can't think of, like taxi drivers or even electricians. This is really the generation where we can see this, and it is pretty normal because we have now equality. As long as we are living and it works for both genders, then it is good. I think it is already outdated for those women that are only in the house because right now if both of them can work, then it is good because prices are too high and you can't afford it if you are just making minimum wage and you are only working for the family.

Inflation is high and there is no doubt that managing home's activities become hard as the price of everything boost up but those women who become a part of job cannot gives much time to her family and I think family should be the first priority.

Doing job for women is not a bad idea but as you mentioned that some women are taxie driver so I think this type of job is not suited well for women because women should have own respect and when she become part of such job then I don't think that society will give him respect.

There are lots of jobs for women which she can performed in better place and she will be respectable for everyone but taxi driving is suitable for man only not for female.

Women can contribute in country's economy. Women are performing very in every field. Entrepreneurship is good for girls, we should support and motivate girls for entrepreneurship . Many women are examples of this, prety zenta is a good
example of this. Prety zenta served well for country and for poor people. Women should be independent. Women can change country's economy. Women  can support family, if they will  be independent. As a father and as a brother, we should provide support to our daughter or sister for entrepreneur ship.

Development of a country, start from the family and the family development begin with to the women. That's why they say "behind every successful man, there must be a woman. There roles can't be ignored in the development of the country. They should be encouraged to work especially as self employed to support their respective home.

How come women doesn't need an education when that situation also happens to man? I mean gender doesn't really matter especially nowadays since everyone is free to have equal rights to learn something such as entrepreneurial. Mostly man might be the frontline where they are exposed to any credits but behind it there's also a woman that supports them in running a business such as organizing, multi-tasking and etc. If you think that man and woman differs in their mindset on how to run a business that's actually fine because they might have different business field that are good to such as cosmetics or clothing. In my country, there's a lot of women who started on nothing then they run a business. What happened? They became successful now they are providing some new business for their husband as well. Everyone's free to learn something if they really want to learn it.

Everyone needs to have some sort of entrepreneurial education if they want to start up and run a business. You can't do anything and actually succeed if you don't have an idea of what you're doing.
You've got the notion that a woman can't be successful without a mans help. That's not true anywhere. Women are also good marketers and managers as well and actually don't need help from anyone.

Without the basic knowledge of how to run and manage a business, that business wouldn't grow and would probably go under irrespective of who is behind the business.
Your thoughts about women not being able to be successful without the help of a man are merely your opinions and not facts.

Development of a country, start from the family and the family development begin with to the women. That's why they say "behind every successful man, there must be a woman. There roles can't be ignored in the development of the country. They should be encouraged to work especially as self employed to support their respective home.

The role of women has always existed in a household and also in the country, only in the past the role of women was only not very visible in public because most women in the past only helped give encouragement to their husbands or people who had family ties with them. But for now the role of women is increasingly visible because they already know how to build a glorious career by not forgetting their own family and relatives when they work.

And men are also happy when they see a woman or wife who can work independently and can help each other in a business or job. So that men can also get development through their business and career more quickly when there is encouragement or support from the women they care about in their lives. So this is no longer something that should be seen as a surprise because everyone has considered it a very normal thing and something that really needs to be done in life.

I don't know, maybe there are a couple of women entrepreneur who really take that big risk and start their own business and be successful. But there could be some who had the proper education to begin with and so they get their hands dirty on the business that they wanted.

So it's really up to this women though, take a risk and see how it goes and then for some, have learn the secrets thru schooling or just someone mentor them and so they become successful in their own field.

A man has more mental strength, physical strength, work ability and efficiency, this is the main difference between a woman entrepreneur and a male entrepreneur, but we cannot discriminate much between a woman's ability and a man's ability in 2023.  Today's women are also working.  Shoulder to shoulder with men with success in every field.
 In a recent study I saw in the newspaper, they conducted an experiment in the Netherlands where they compared 1638 female and 1882 male entrepreneurs with employees out of a total of 3520 business owners.  These employers received entrepreneurial coaching.  The first stage of coaching was an e-scan, which gave them a clear idea of what their strong and weak skills as an entrepreneur are and what they need to work on together with the coach to improve business performance.  The scan generates the entrepreneurship index, Males (55,1) score slightly higher than females (54,6) on their entrepreneurship index.  My heart fills with excitement when I see so many women entrepreneurs.Male and female entrepreneurs pursue entrepreneurship for more or less the same reasons.  Consequently, the government must provide equal opportunities to pursue an entrepreneurial path to contribute to economic and social progress.  Women need to encourage us that effort brings success.  I believe that women will go a long way if they can get out of the disease of discrimination. more details
