Research

Analyzed how the impact of the gender gap on start-ups is influenced through entrepreneurship education at post-secondary institutions

A detailed infographic titled 'HELPING OR HURTING FUTURE FOUNDERS? HOW THE IMPACT OF THE GENDER GAP ON START-UPS IS INFLUENCED THROUGH ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION AT POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS'. A pie chart answers 'Of the below, which would most likely hinder your motivation to pursue a career in entrepreneurship?', showing 'Lack of Knowledge & Experience' at 34.7%, 'Lack of access to resources' at 31.9%, 'Fear of failure' at 29.2%, and 'Fear of gender restraining from equal opportunities' at 4.2%. Below, a blue male icon lists factors: 'Educational Experience, Professional Experience, Connections/Resources, Gender Gap', while a pink female icon lists: 'Educational Experience, Gender Gap, Fear'. The 'THEORY' section states that undergraduate students acknowledge the gender gap, but their educational and professional experience, along with access to connections and resources, ultimately build confidence for start-up success after graduation.
