Researchers call for rethink of how women are supported into business
Key Points
The way women are supported to start and grow businesses needs updating for the digital age, according to researchers from the University of East London. The academics argue that while women continue to face barriers such as unequal access to finance and greater caregiving responsibilities, digital ways of working—from online collaboration and flexible work to cloud-based tools—should be at the heart of helping more women grow businesses.
