Firms with female participation in ownership (% of firms)

The proportion of businesses that feature a woman among their primary owners highlights the degree of female engagement in entrepreneurial activities within a given economy. This indicator not only reflects gender diversity in ownership but also serves as a crucial marker of women's empowerment in the business landscape. A higher percentage suggests an increasingly inclusive environment that fosters female leadership and innovation, potentially leading to better decision-making and diverse perspectives in business strategies. This metric can reveal broader societal trends regarding gender equality, economic opportunities, and access to resources for women, providing essential insights for policymakers and stakeholders aiming to promote a more equitable economic framework.
