- Abstract
The objective of this research was to compare the Mexican breadwinner women's economic activities performance, to determine if there are differences in the returns depending on the source of work, whether subordinate (working woman) or independent (businesswoman), furthermore to know what encourages women to be entrepreneurs. We worked with a sample with 7,411 working women and 1,688 businesswomen and used a two-stage model (Probit and MCO). Our findings revealed differences between economic returns, depending on the source of work, businesswomen had the lowest returns. Balance of childcare and low incomes that women earn as a working person, caused by the low educational level, it is the principal motivation for women to be businesswomen. However, their priority is not economic wealth.
