V International Workshop of Research based on GEM-Cádiz

 V International Workshop of Research based on GEM"WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS"

 28 June 2010

CÁDIZ (SPAIN)

 Women entrepreneurs make an important contribution to the development of the world economy. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Report on Women and Entrepreneurship provides a comprehensive and up-to-date study of the role played by women involved in entrepreneurial activity across the world economy. This role has increased the interest to research the characteristics and drivers of the women entrepreneurs’ phenomenon. Women entrepreneurs have become a fundamental part of economic growth, employment creation and innovation. The interest of Spanish Government (Ministerio de Igualdad) in the phenomenon also demonstrates how important it is for institutional policies.

 TOPIC AND OBJECTIVES: The objective of the Workshop is to establish a common ground for the debate of the new guidelines for the research of women´s entrepreneurship and its main results.

Two types of researches are of interest for this workshop: 

·          Empirical papers focused on women´s entrepreneurial activity within the framework of Global Entrepreneurship Monitor research: regional comparison in function of gender; gender analysis from different countries, institutional recommendations and actions; and,

·          Conceptual and empirical research focusing on those topics which are acquiring the greatest relevance, from the perspective of gender, such as: factors which influence the propensity or motivation of women to become entrepreneurs (sociodemographic; perception; contextual); training to become an entrepreneur and its results; financing of the entrepreneurial activity; spin off and university research; immigrant and native entrepreneurial activity; influence of social networks; initiatives related to the family business; gender stereotype.
