Abstract

We extend the current literature on barriers to women’s entrepreneurship by providing the perspectives of women entrepreneurs’ lived experience of governance and public policies designed to support entrepreneurship, in France and England. The research draws on primary data comprising interviews with 75 French and English women entrepreneurs as well as secondary data. The research suggests that in France the system of governance is relatively more supportive, whereas in England there are less favourable views of bureaucracy and the conditionality of financial policy instruments, which in turn create unintended outcomes. We extend current understandings of gendered public policies and governance. The public policy and governance context in France offers relatively more support for women entrepreneurs than in England. There is a potential for policy learning in how to support women entrepreneurs. Financial policy instruments such as social welfare payments may affect women entrepreneurship. Bureaucracy creates time and opportunity costs for women entrepreneurs, which have a gendered impact if they are single parents and have dependents.

治理和公共政策：支持法国和英国的女企业家？

我们通过提供女性企业家在法国和英国的治理和旨在支持创业的公共政策方面的生活经验，扩展了目前关于女性创业障碍的文献。该研究利用了对75名法国和英国女企业家的访谈以及辅助数据。研究表明，法国的治理体系相对来说更具有支持性，而在英国，人们对官僚主义和金融政策工具的条件性的看法不那么有利，这反过来又产生了意想不到的结果。我们扩展了目前对性别公共政策和治理的理解。法国的公共政策和治理环境为女企业家提供了比英国更多的支持。在如何支持女企业家方面，有可能进行政策学习。社会福利金等财政政策工具可能影响妇女的创业精神。官僚主义给女企业家带来了时间和机会成本，如果她们是单身父母，有家属，这对性别有影响。
