Women start businesses all the time, but they run few world-changing businesses. Even those who manage to land outside funding don't tend to wind up with businesses as large as those run by men.
But there is no reason women-owned businesses can't be as large and profitable--if not more so--than those run by men. This isn't just about achieving gender equality for its own sake--the U.S. economy would be better off if more women grew larger businesses, said Sangeeta Bharadwaj Badal, Ph.D., Gallup senior consultant and lead reseacher in entrepreneurship.
