Dear Aref Wazwaz,

Thanks for your effort. Articles are fine. Unfortunately, the last GEM in Nigeria was in 2013. I am afraid the data are to old.

The factors inhibiting the development of businesses run by female entrepreneurs in Nigeria include poor savings culture, inappropriate business practice, lack of qualified artisan workers, lack of honest and reliable staff, balancing business and family, high-based thinking and fear of pseudo growth.

Dear Prof. Mirna Leko Šimić . I have looked in my drawers. All I have so far is that it varies among different entrepreneurial Archetypes. I have this info.. based from (www.entrepreneurprofiletest.com) And that is mainly so far participants from Asia, North America. and from Europe.

• The Workstyle entrepreneurial archetype has the highest female %, so far in an ongoing study, so far 58%
• The Professional entrepreneurial archetypes, 35% female.
• The Serial entrepreneurial Archetype = 50/50 men/women.

Asian female Workstyles, here rounded of nearest ten, 30% of the Workstyles

Female Workstyles from North America = 20%

And female Workstyles from EU = 50%.

The remaining 3 archetypes The Starter, The Lifestyle, and The Innovators (now like 42% female) but, have too few answers to be reproduced now. So I can't really say anything about them all until have reached more stats.

Please continue for the object of research, the phenomenon of women's entrepreneurship has actually been around for a long time but is still rarely a topic of research. You can also browse articles to highlight research gaps, and new contributions to the theory.

Thabk you Stefan Lindstrom, for thr great input.

You are welcome. It might add some perspective to the topic. I hope it gave something even if all of it was not specific to Nigeria. Some of it goes continent-wise. Feel free to use EPT

(www.entrepreneurprofiletest.com) for your own research within Nigeria and see if they end up differently within different entrepreneurial archetypes. BR Stefan
