Abstract

Doelstelling: Deze scriptie is een geannoteerde vertaling van drie hoofdstukken uit een wetenschappelijke tekst (Women in Business). Het commentaargedeelte bestaat uit twee delen: de bespreking van organisaties die in de tekst voorkomen en van enkele vertaalproblemen (abstracte onderwerpen, lange zinnen en lexicale problemen). De organisaties die beschreven worden, richten zich op kleinbedrijven, zelfstandige onderneemsters en mannen en vrouwen in het algemeen. Daarnaast zijn er ook beschrijvingen van algemene onderzoeken en organisaties die onderzoeksprojecten financieren. Middelen of methode: Het basismateriaal is het boek Women in Business. Voor het commentaargedeelte werden verschillende middelen ingezet: boeken, het internet en persoonlijke e-mail. Resultaten: Het beschrijven van organisaties vergt een kritische vergelijking van de verschillende bronnen. Hoewel vertaalroutines vaak een oplossing bieden voor vertaalproblemen zoals abstracte onderwerpen en lange zinnen, bieden ze niet altijd uitkomst voor het vertalen van lexicale begrippen. De vertaler moet intensief nadenken over de verschillende vertaalmogelijkheden en de verschillende mogelijkheden met elkaar vergelijken. Aan de hand van verschillende criteria zoals frequentie in het gewone taalgebruik, kiest de vertaler dan de beste vertaling.

Abstract

This paper analyzes data on female and male entrepreneurship that were collected by the World Bank Group's Entrepreneurship Database. Recognizing the importance of a differentiated approach to entrepreneurship in terms of legal entities, the data on female and male business owners are collected at the level of limited liability companies and sole proprietorships. Forty-four of the 143 economies that participated in the Entrepreneurship project provided some sex-disaggregated data for 2016. The paper finds that the gender gap in business ownership remains high in many economies around the world. In the majority of the analyzed economies, less than one-third of new limited liability company owners are women. Although sole proprietorships are more frequently used by female entrepreneurs, only three economies have similar or equal number of women business owners relative to men. The gap in female entrepreneurship is especially apparent in low-income economies, where women are much less likely than men to start a new business. The paper also provides new insights into the relationship between female entrepreneurship and various institutional factors, including women's financial inclusion, the gender gap in education, and legal rights disparities. The analysis suggests a need to expand the collection of sex-disaggregated data, to trace the economies' progress in narrowing the existing gender gap in entrepreneurship.

Abstract

This paper examines the characteristics and performance of female-owned firms in Latin America. Data from firm surveys show that female-owned firms tend to be smaller than male-owned firms in terms of employees, sales, costs, and physical capital. Female-owned firms also have lower profits than male-owned firms, but for larger firms this difference disappears after controlling for labor and capital inputs. Medium-size and large female-owned firms are as productive as male-owned firms of the same size, although micro and small female-owned firms are less productive than male-owned firms. There is no evidence that the differences between female and male-owned firms are due to differences in access to finance or regulatory burdens. However, this paper finds a negative correlation between child care and household obligations and female-owned firm size and performance.
