Scoping Study on Gender Differences in Enterprise Surveys
The aim of this study is to support DFID and partner efforts to enhance business performance in low income and emerging countries
Abstract
The aim of this scoping study is to support DFID and partner efforts to enhance overall business performance in low income and emerging countries through contributing to the efficacy of business environment reform (BER) efforts. Existing evidence suggests important gender differences in formal enterprises. In the vast majority of countries surveyed, women鈥檚 businesses are fewer in number, smaller in size and concentrated in less capital and asset intensive sectors, compared to men鈥檚 businesses. In some regions, they are also weaker in certain dimensions of performance.
This research is part of the Business Environment for Economic Development programme.
