Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyse whether the experience of working in a family member’s business is related differently to the assessed probabilities of men and women starting their own new venture in the future. The research is conducted on a sample of 334 Polish undergraduate students. Poland is an efficiency-driven European economy with a substantial gender gap in entrepreneurship. The results obtained indicate that the relationship studied differs significantly across gender. Women assess their probability of starting their own ventures as lower than men do. This difference is only found among those with experience gained in a family member’s business. Men and women without such experience do not differ in their assessments. Our findings indicate that the mere inclusion of women in a family’s business activities may not be sufficient to reduce the gender gap.
