Abstract
This conceptual paper indicates and emphasizes
the women entrepreneurs as the potentially emerging
human resource in the 21st century to overcome the
economic challenges in global perspective. Being a
woman entrepreneur is not a random event, but is
influenced by personal characteristics as well as by
socio-economic and cultural factors. . Yet, despite
this shift; there still are gender gaps in the startup of
entrepreneurial ventures that have been observed in
many countries. There are differences in human
capital factors such as education levels and intentions
or on financial factors such as access to venture
capital and credit terms or on the access to social
capital at various stages of the entrepreneurial
process. Developing and developed nations have
realized that developing women entrepreneurship is
indispensable to flourish as economically dominant
nation in the modern high-tech world.
