abstract = {The obstacles to, influences on, and impact of women’s business ownership have
been studied for the researchers, offering a substantial knowledge about the female
entrepreneurs and their businesses. However, the vast majority of research about
women entrepreneurs is still very western-oriented, and more studies are needed
based on international data. This investigation examines the extent to which a set of
social and firm factors influences women’s decisions to start and grow their own
businesses. It includes 59 countries and takes into account their stages of economic
development. Findings show that the level of a country’s development has an
impact on how social and firm factors affect women’s decisions to become engaged
in business. Findings also show that women’s education levels are independent of
their country’s level of economic development, in terms of its impact on their
entrepreneurship. Recommendations are provided to promote women’s entrepreneurship
and support them to reach their potential.},
