The number of female entrepreneurs is growing slowly in Canada, but still accounts for just a small proportion of all small-business owners and remains an “untapped resource.”
A new study by Royal Bank of Canada economist Laura Cooper shows women were majority owners of only 15.6 per cent of all small and medium-sized businesses in Canada as of 2011, an increase from 14.9 per cent in 2007 and 13.7 per cent in 2004.
