Understanding Gendered Variations in Business Growth Intentions across the Life Course
利用美国创业动态追踪数据,研究男女创业者在不同职业阶段和家庭状况下对高增长意图的差异,发现年轻男性更倾向高增长意图,而母亲群体比其他女性更频繁表达高增长意图。
This article investigates differences in growth intentions of men and women entrepreneurs. Using data from the U.S. Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics I and II, we test hypotheses informed by life course theory regarding the influence of career stage and family status on high growth intentions of men and women entrepreneurs. Results show that young men are especially likely to express high growth intentions, while mothers expressed high growth intentions more frequently than did other women.
