Experts announced the increase in the participation of women in entrepreneurship
The gender gap is smaller among individual entrepreneurs (IEs) than among corporate executives. Of the total number of founders of individual entrepreneurs in 2026, 58.5% were men and 41.5% women, while among the heads of legal entities there is a significant advantage: 68.1% against 31.9%. This is stated in the study of the service for job search and recruitment of SuperJob and the service “Contour.Focus” (there is “Vedomosti”). Statistics indicate the expansion of women's participation in entrepreneurship, explains "Vedomosti" analyst of "Kontur.Focus" Anastasia Mokshantseva. At the same time, the results do not guarantee the effectiveness of the IP institute as a tool to smooth out gender inequality in income, experts polled by Vedomosti believe.
