Interesting article from Chicagobusiness.com that comments on a possible growth in female entrepreneurs in recent times. As young people are seeing other people lose their jobs in larger companies they are possibly deciding to take their own fortune into their own hands by starting their own businesses.One young woman decided to create and sell jewellery when she was laid off. She had made jewellery since she was 10, and thought it would probably be something she'd do later in life, but when she got laid off she decided now was the time to be responsible for her own chance. She created a website using the 'Work-at-home' website (another great resource). Now her business is starting to take off.
The article mentions that young women today are better at networking than previous generations, and this may be assisting in the trend that is being watched there is greater growth in the number of women under the age of 35 starting up companies to men.
Prof. Renko, at UIC, commented that she's seeing more women in her class for technology entrepreneurship. They seem more interested today in making this switch.
It will be interesting to see if this trend that is barely showing up today actually holds true to become a more substantial shift.
