Sixty per cent of female business owners remain optimistic that entrepreneurship can help to address global issues, compared with 51% of male business owners.
According to a new report from campaigning body 'Make Your Mark'. Their report is based on a survey of over 185,000 business owners and is one of the first to compare male and female reactions to the credit crunch.
Female entrepreneurs voice more concern over a range of social issues including poverty, health, education, conflict and violence. The survey also considers business expansion and shows women have more international contacts but remain significantly less likely to be considering expanding abroad.
