A Gendered Life Course Explanation of the Exit Decision in the Context of Household Dynamics
基于英国家庭数据，研究发现照顾幼儿的女性创业者因时间冲突导致回报有限而更易退出，但若男性伴侣提供补偿性收入则退出率不显著。
Using a gendered household analysis, we explore the extent to which operating a business upon a flexible basis at specific times in the life course impacts upon an entrepreneur’s exit from their business. Drawing upon UK data and a discrete-time event history model to conduct a life course analysis, we find women caring for young children are more likely to exit given limited returns related to incompatible demands between the time required to generate sufficient returns and caring demands. Limited returns however, were not significant to continuation rates if a male partner contributed a compensatory household income.
