Does gender affect entrepreneurship? Evidence from Spanish and Argentinian business incubators

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: This study presents our findings from a systematic analysis of gender and entrepreneurship in Spanish and Argentinian incubators for 2020 and 2021. We improved our understanding of the unique challenges women entrepreneurs face in Spain compared to those in Argentina. Regarding gender and entrepreneurship in incubators, our findings show that neither country exhibits significant differences in success or failure rates nor in the type of financial model (state or public). However, we encountered significant differences in the internationalisation rates of businesses, which reflect a predominantly male profile. Finally, the analysis of the reach of this rate will focus on the type of financing, state versus private.
