Female entrepreneurship in transition economies: the case of Lithuania and Ukraine
从制度视角比较立陶宛和乌克兰两个处于不同转型阶段的国家的女性创业,发现两国女性创业者既有共同特征也有重要差异,说明转型国家内部存在多样性。
Abstract To date, little research has focused on female entrepreneurship in the context of transitioning countries. This paper compares from an institutional perspective two countries at different stages in the process of transformation. Lithuania followed a rapid transitional path leading to European Union membership, while Ukraine is on a much slower development path. Women entrepreneurs in Lithuania and Ukraine share many common features and problems; however, there are important differences in the experiences of women in these two countries. This indicates a need to recognize the diversity that exists among transition countries, reflecting different inheritances from the Soviet past as well as differences in the pace of change during the transition period.
