Abstract	"GEM Women 2006 estimated more than a third of all people involved in entrepreneurial activity are women. Across the 40 countries in the report, low/middle-income countries showed the highest rates of female early-stage entrepreneurial activity, while high-income countries reported the lowest. Even so, men are more likely to be involved in entrepreneurial activity than women. In high-income countries, men are almost twice as likely to be early-stage or established business owners than women. Russia is the only country where the rate of female early-stage entrepreneurship is significantly higher than the male rate. The gender gap between male and female entrepreneurs narrows among low/middle income countries particularly for early-stage entrepreneurship (27%), but widens to 45% for established business owners. GEM suggests that access to labor markets in middle-income countries actually encourages women to start their own businesses. The ratio of opportunity (exploit a perceived business opportunity) to necessity (work options are absent or unsatisfactory) entrepreneurs is significantly higher in high-income countries than in low/middle-income countries, and this effect is significantly amplified for women entrepreneurs. Women's businesses show many of the same patterns as those of men regarding industry sector, use of innovation and technology, firm employment, and growth potential. The report presents also varius characteristics of women entrepreneurs." Die Untersuchung enthält quantitative Daten. Forschungsmethode: empirisch-quantitativ; empirisch; Querschnitt.
