State of women's enterprise in the UK

Title:

State of women's enterprise in the UK

Type:

Report

Date Created:

2007-10

Description:

This report is an overview of the state of women’s enterprise across the UK, updating data and statistics previously published by Prowess in 2005. Its key messages are that to fuel economic growth in the UK, more must be done to encourage female entrepreneurship and, importantly, that existing women-​led businesses need more appropriate assistance towards greater long-​term sustainability. It argues that although much has been achieved over the last four years to support female entrepreneurs at a national and at a regional level, female entrepreneurship remains resolutely low at just under half of male entrepreneurial activity and this represents a real challenge for all those engaged in raising the profile of women’s enterprise in the UK. The report includes an analysis of the attitudinal and perceptional drivers of entrepreneurship at a regional level.
