This comparative study reveals the persistent gender gap in entrepreneurship in India and the United States, highlighting significant differences across various indicators.
Humans, since the consciousness developed, have been looking for and acting according to the existing differences in the nature. Social system weighs these differences and then assigns roles accordingly. All this has resulted into emergence of social and economic issues. Gender is one of the factors which define some of these differences. The purpose of this paper is to figure out comparative gender gap in entrepreneurship in India and United States. The research proceeds on by studying the decadal trends (2014-2024) in Female over Male Total early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) for both India and United States. Proportionately higher ratios are seen in case of United States than for India which reveal that Gender Gap at the early stages of Entrepreneurial Activity is more persistent and deeper in India than in United States. Next the study moves on to examine Gender Gap across various indicators of entrepreneurship for both India and United States. The data used is for the year 2023. It can be seen that Gender Gap trends vary for various indicators and there is no consistent pattern.
