Abstract

The objective of this study is to seek an answer to the question of whether the gender gap in entrepreneurship (GGIE) still persists. For this objective, the study explores the thematic landscape of the research field of 'GGIE' and contributes toward exploring relationships among specific constructs in the area of GGIE like leading contributors in the field regarding countries, research organisations, authors, and source titles. Keyword's co-occurrence analysis technique categorises and explores prominent and emerging topics. The findings of the study reveal that there still exists a wide disparity in the men's and women's entrepreneurship rates with the former still predominant in entrepreneurship. Besides women's entrepreneurial propensity is negatively affected by gender stenotypes. A lack of theoretical support also marks the field. The research field of GGIE has gained significant attention in advanced economies. However, key didactical issues related to the opportunities and challenges of women entrepreneurs remain debatable worldwide.
