Women who own businesses are on average higher educated than there male counterparts yet they earn significantly lower salaries.

I remember reading this I wish I had the link but it showed female business owners tended to take more time off than male counterparts and had a nicer work/life balance over money/growth/profit.

Are you suggesting that consumers are buying/consuming products/services from female run businesses?

[quinnchr]

No, I'm not hypothesizing a reason for this. I'm simply describing the end effect, which is women being paid less.

When you control for working hours women entrepreneurs still earn less.

How can this be? Are you suggesting that women run less profitable businesses?

[quinnchr]

Yes they are less profitable, for a variety of reasons, like the one I already listed, women have less access to capital.

What a burden I have to read a 400 page document to understand your point. But sure I will bite.

Page 280. Work-life balance is a motive for starting their business for more women than men

It is also very suspect that the study does not include any data for credit for women enterprises started in the US.
