Thus, we have conducted a four months study (October 2016 to January 2017) to understand the specific struggles met by women social entrepreneurs and to highlight solutions to strengthen the presence of women in that field.<\/p>\n<p>On February 16th, we have had the pleasure to launch the\u00a0results of our study on women and social entrepreneurship in France at the CESE (Economic, Social and Environmental Council) in Paris. While social entrepreneurship is a dynamic field and an important lever for social and professional insertion for women, our study shows that women meet specific struggles to access to entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Profil of the interviewees<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The average age of the respondents is 31. The population is not particularly vulnerable and is well-inserted in the job market. <strong>78%<\/strong> of respondents for established projects have completed at least five years of higher education and 80% of the total population has had another professional activity before starting within social entrepreneurship. Among social entrepreneurs who have failed within entrepreneurship before, the education rate\u00a0is slightly lower: only 46% of the population have completed at least five years of higher education.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Main results\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4194\" src=\"http:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive1.jpg 720w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive1-600x773.jpg 600w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive1-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive1-113x146.jpg 113w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive1-39x50.jpg 39w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive1-58x75.jpg 58w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4196\" src=\"http:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive2.jpg 720w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive2-600x773.jpg 600w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive2-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive2-113x146.jpg 113w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive2-39x50.jpg 39w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive2-58x75.jpg 58w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4198\" src=\"http:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive3.jpg 720w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive3-600x773.jpg 600w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive3-233x300.jpg 233w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive3-113x146.jpg 113w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive3-39x50.jpg 39w, https:\/\/empow-her.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Diapositive3-58x75.jpg 58w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We couldn&#8217;t have conducted this study without the support of our partners, who have helped us in identifying people leading projects with a social impact, or without everyone who\u00a0gave a bit of their time to help us and our interviewers with the data collection.
