Background of the study
• Women’s entrepreneurship needs to be studied for two main reasons:– It has been recognized during the last decade as
an important untapped source of economic growth
– The invisibility of women in entrepreneurship both in society in general and in the social sciences

Purpose
• To investigate the availability of statistics and research on the role of women’s entrepreneurship in the economy;
• To propose further developments to acquire better knowledge about women entrepreneurship.

Assessing the economic impact
• Women entrepreneurship play an important role:– In Europe 10 million self-employed women provide
employment for 16 million people
– In the United States 6.4 million self-employed women provide employment for 9.2 million people
– In all economies self-employment is an important career alternative for women
– Women entrepreneurship is not only micro businesses

Lack of reliable information
• Need for more basic information (sex disaggregated, N, employment and sales)– At least cross sectional estimates
• Method biases:– age, – industry, – entry and exit,– legal form

Future and further changes
• Problems with definitions:– International comparisons– Women entrepreneurship vs. small firms
• Need for longitudinal analyses (the dynamics of e-ship):– Survival, growth, mergers and acquisitions

Conclusions
• Women entrepreneurship represents an important economic impact
• Some improvements have been made over the last ten years
• Still lack a reliable and detailed picture
• Cross-sectional a first step
• Longitudinal needed in the future
