You know, this is a business where only 15% make a living wage and only 9% of those are women. But I figured somebody has to be that 15%, somebody's got to be one of those women.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I found that women entrepreneurs earn 50% less than their male counterparts.
Women are starting something like twice as many companies as men, but the money is primarily going to companies started by men.
Half of my employees are women.
The stereotypes really play into what kinds of companies women can get funded for.
Women do two thirds of the world's work. Yet they earn only one tenth of the world's income and own less than one percent of the world's property. They are among the poorest of the world's poor.
Although women do two-thirds of the world's labor, they own less than one percent of the world's assets.
Women are not making it to the top. A hundred and ninety heads of state; nine are women. Of all the people in parliament in the world, thirteen per cent are women. In the corporate sector, women at the top - C-level jobs, board seats - tops out at fifteen, sixteen per cent.
How is it even sustainable in 21st-century America that women earn, on average, 77 cents for every dollar earned by men?
Until we know how many women own businesses, we may under-invest in them as entrepreneurs and economic drivers.
Well, I happen to believe all business is female business.
