?????? Investor Insights
?While it may seem that the most severe impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have receded, this holds true mainly for many developed economies. Unfortunately, for those less fortunate, the repercussions linger on. In emerging economies, women entrepreneurs stand as some of the most vulnerable business leaders globally. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they endured exceptionally challenging business conditions, challenges that could have been, and still can be, mitigated through strategic policy interventions. Entrepreneurship is increasingly recognized as a vital contributor to the resilience and well-being of societies, with women entrepreneurs playing a pivotal role in the growth of emerging economies. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), a collaborative effort of national teams conducting research on global business startup activity, has revealed that women business owners in emerging economies encountered substantial obstacles during the pandemic, sparking concerns about potential setbacks in the quest for gender equality. Read on to learn more about some of the key findings of the report.
