Women entrepreneurs outperform male peers in job creation

So here’s an interesting trend! It seems that women entrepreneurs tend to outperform their male peers when it comes to hiring, according to the EY Global Job Creation Survey. Speaking about the upward trend, Uschi Schreiber, EY Global Vice Chair ‒ Markets, said: “There are signs that women entrepreneurs are fast becoming leading job creators. This is extremely encouraging as entrepreneurship has long been a route to employment and business success for many women despite the enduring gender gap. While some challenges remain for female-led businesses, like often not scaling to the same extent as their male-led counterparts, our research shows some tentative and welcome signs that this is changing. Our research shows that female entrepreneurs are more likely to run billion dollar businesses and outperform men when it comes to hiring and creating jobs.” And what is even more exciting is that young women entrepreneurs are leading the job creation charge, bringing more workers into help grow their businesses than their young male counterparts.
