Women as entrepreneurs edit

Share of firms with female top managers by region
In the 59 economies included in the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor research project,[1] female entrepreneurship ranges from just over 1.5% to 45.4% of the adult female population. Although entrepreneurial activity among women is highest in emerging economies (45.5%), the proportion of all female entrepreneurs varies considerably: from 16% in South Korea to 55% in Ghana (the only economy with more female entrepreneurs).[citation needed][citation needed] Moreover, in many emerging economies, women are now starting a business faster than men, making significant contributions to job creation and economic growth. Women are also more likely to start businesses focused on sustainability.[2][3][4]
