Additionally, across all countries , a strong positive and significant
correlation exists between a woman's belief of having the knowledge , skills
and experience required to start a new business and her likelihood of starting
one.
This suggests that women entrepreneurs may take a more conservative approach
to business formation, perhaps because of their higher involvement in
necessity driven entrepreneurship.

Key findings in 2004
In 2004, GEM estimated that about 73 million people are involved in
starting a new business in the 34 countries that participated in the study. Conversely, a strong negative and significant correlation exists between
fear of failure and a woman's likelihood of starting a new business. Mentoring and network support,
especially at the local level, are at least as crucial in boosting women's
attitudes with respect to business leadership and new venture creation as
financial support ."

Policy Implications for High-Income Countries
High-income countries need to sustain innovation rates and encourage the
involvement of women in entrepreneurship, especially when faced with an aging
labor force. Areas of importance for policy makers should
include to instill fundamental aspects of the entrepreneurial mindset and to
increase the attractiveness of entrepreneurship as an income producing
activity for women even when they have access to jobs in manufacturing or in
the public sector. Started in 1999 with 10
participating countries, the project has expanded to include 34 countries in
2004, representing a total labor force of 784 million.gemconsortium. on the "Transdermal Delivery of Hormones: The

"These women tend to be older and better

The majority of businesses started by women employed less start-up capital

Policy Implications for Middle-Income Countries
More than in other groups, women in middle income countries shy away from
starting their own businesses . Areas
of importance for policy makers should include literacy and financial
assistance.
The GEM program is a major effort aimed at describing and analyzing
entrepreneurial processes within a wide range of countries. MHz produces its original programs through its two

As in the case of men, and regardless of per capita income, the largest
majority of women involved in starting a new business hold other jobs.

Policy Implications for Low-Income Countries
Much female entrepreneurship in low-income countries is motivated by
necessity, thus starting a new business represents an effective and flexible
way for women to emancipate themselves and provide for their families. They also discuss how the exhibit called "Divine and
