ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL AMERICA ACROSS TYPOLOGIES, GENDER AND MOTIVATION

María Figueroa-Armijos, Thomas G. Johnson · 2013 · Journal of Developmental Entrepreneurship

Summary. This study analyzes how rural location affects early-stage entrepreneurship in America, comparing necessity-driven and opportunity-driven ventures across gender. Using data from 2005-2010, the researchers find that women in rural counties show higher rates of opportunity entrepreneurship than urban counterparts, especially with college education. Men in rural areas similarly show increased opportunity entrepreneurship. College education boosts opportunity entrepreneurship for both genders, while low income drives necessity entrepreneurship for women and part-time employment does so for men.
