Women Lead Urban Businesses in Colombia but Face Income Inequality
An analysis by Fundación WWB Colombia reveals that while women represent the majority of urban business leaders in Cali and nationally, they continue to operate under conditions of inequality and earn lower incomes.
An analysis conducted by the Analytics Unit of Fundación WWB Colombia highlights a persistent gender disparity among urban entrepreneurs in Cali and across Colombia. The findings were derived from a review of the Micronegotiations Survey and the Large Integrated Household Survey.
The study indicates that women currently account for the majority of urban business leaders nationwide and within Cali. However, female business owners continue to launch and operate their ventures under conditions marked by persistent structural inequality.
Despite representing the majority of urban entrepreneurs, women-led micro-businesses generate lower average incomes compared to those managed by men. The research highlights the ongoing challenge of closing the earnings gap for women in the business sector.
