Women entrepreneurs 

Women remain under-represented as entrepreneurs.When asked,fewer women than men say they would prefer to be self-employed.When they do choose to become entrepreneurs,they cite better work-life balance more often than men as the main motivation for starting a business.As they frequently divide their time between working and caring women’s businesses are usually on a smaller scale and in a limited range of sectors.They often have less experience when they start up a business and are also less likely than men to borrow money to finance their business.These factors contribute to women entrepreneurs frequently earning 30 to 40% less than their male counterparts.Yet female-owned businesses make a key contribution to household incomes and economic growth.
