Executive Takeaways
■ Entrepreneurship is a gendered phenomenon. ■ Women entrepreneurs suffer from institutional gender disparities more than men entrepreneurs do. ■ The social costs of failure have a greater delegitimizing effect on women-led than men-led entrepreneurial firms. ■ Societies with smaller gender disparities have greater total and high-growth entrepreneurship activity. ■ Policies encouraging women entrepreneurs to lead high-growth projects are urgently needed.
