Analyzing the Climate for Female Entrepreneurs in Spain and Chile Hannah Reinbold Honors Final Thesis Project Fall 2015 1 Women Working Worldwide According to the 2015 special report on Women’s Entrepreneurship by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), women currently make up 40% of the global workforce. Women across the globe still face many obstacles when entering the professional sphere or pursuing career growth. In the top Fortune 500 companies across the globe, only 14% have women in executive positions, and a resound quarter of the companies lack a female presence in high levels of leadership and management (García- Robles). Much evidence points to biases and misplaced perceptions of women’s abilities or proper roles in the workplace and as members of society.
