Not just men but women also play a very vital role in bringing a change in the society. Whereas some people adapt and modify according to the change but others resist changing because of opposition to female authority.
According to the study, developing nations like Angola, Sudan, Chile, and Canada have the highest rates of female entrepreneurs as compared to nations of Europe like Italy which have the lowest female entrepreneur rates.
