About
The project “Mumpreneurship” is based on the values of gender equality and especially the participation of mothers in the field of innovative and social entrepreneurship.
Both Eurostat and “Women’s Economic Empowerment” report provide strong evidence that women are lagging behind men in terms of the number of female business owners, the size of women-owned businesses, and their access to economic resources.
Women’s economic empowerment is a cornerstone of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and Entrepreneurship 2020 plan. Even though data regarding women’s careers and life balance and women’s multiple roles and their coping strategies and mechanisms has been more prominent over the past three years, there are still major misconceptions regarding mothers in the workplace especially when referring to disadvantaged mothers, single mothers, migrant mothers, mothers with social needs.
The role of these misconceptions is evident in the amount of companies reducing their expectations to hire working mothers. There is evidence that the care of children plays a crucial role in mothers’ and households’ labor supply decisions: European data demonstrate that in 2017, the employment rate of women with children aged 6 or less was 64.6% in the EU as opposed to 79% for women without children. Despite strong legislation and in some cases, enhanced organizational benefits, one in three women, find it difficult or very difficult to return to work after maternity leave.
