Career Opportunities and Female Entrepreneurship.

We propose four papers that collectively contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of gender inequalities in entrepreneurship: they draw on different theoretical perspectives and conduct analyses at different levels of units: the first two papers will focus on macro-level conditions at country level, comparing how institutional and structural conditions across countries affect men's and women's representations in entrepreneurship by, for example, offering different types of incentives to men and women to start businesses. The last two papers investigate gender inequalities in different forms of entrepreneurship by differentiating self-employment from founding new organizations and theorizing the various mechanisms that drive women's entry into different segments of entrepreneurship.
