Abstract

During the last decades, “entrepreneurship” has gained special relevance in the economic policy area, mostly because it has an important role in the employment creation and economic growth process. In this sense, women entrepreneurship would have a positive role to create new jobs for themselves and for others and to advance business opportunities. However, they have more difficulties to obtain the necessary resources to carry out their activities. In this paper, we analyze the relationship between women entrepreneurship and economic growth as well as those measures to stimulate their activities by engaging in an empirical study that draws data from several OECD countries.
