Women business leaders have a tremendous impact on their markets, industries and communities through innovation, job creation and economic growth. However, their contributions are often lost in the prevailing narrative that women are over-represented among the poorest and most vulnerable entrepreneurs globally.
The GEM 2021/2022 Women's Entrepreneurship Report offers analysis of women’s entrepreneurship in 50 countries, 5 global regions and 3 national income levels. It focuses on:
1. Gender differences in rates at various point in the entrepreneurial life cycle, from intentions thru start up activity, new business, established business and business exit;
2. Gender differences in COVID impacts, both positive and negative;
3. Structural inequalities and women’s participation in high potential startups; and
4. Factors in the enabling environment that likely influence gender differences in entrepreneurial activity.
The report launches on 18 November. Join us for the webinar on 21 November to hear the key report findings.

- Amanda Elam, Research Fellow at the Diana International Research Institute at Babson College, lead author of the GEM Women's Entrepreneurship Report
