Abstract: The cultural, structural, and financial obstacles that prevent women from participating and succeeding in business are the main emphasis of this study on the gender gap in entrepreneurship.It investigates gender-specific reasons for starting a business as well as the biases and stereotypes that undermine women's credibility as entrepreneurs through a critical review of recent literature.Cultural biases, societal norms around work-life balance, and restricted access to outside finance are some of the main obstacles.These obstacles limit the growth of female entrepreneurs' businesses and significantly affect their participation.The study concludes that promoting a more equitable and inclusive entrepreneurial environment requires focused interventions, such as better financial access and eliminating gender stereotypes.
