Born Unequal: Overcome Barriers and Traits of Female Entrepreneurs

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Female entrepreneurship has not been sufficiently studied. This article uses a Mexican survey to provide evidence for the rate of women-owned businesses, factors that promote female entrepreneurship, and intergenerational mobility as a metric of success. It was found that women-owned enterprises are successful in generating upward mobility, despite facing greater obstacles than male-owned businesses. Therefore, more studies with adequate representation of women are required. Finally, to advance toward parity in entrepreneurship, it is necessary to recognize women entrepreneurs as capable leaders, visionary employers, and provide them with unrestricted support within their social circles.
