THOUGH women in Singapore make up 44 per cent of the workforce, only a quarter of business owners are women, according to the Mastercard Index of Women Entrepreneurs.
This disproportionate statistic runs contrary to the fact that the women workforce in Singapore is a highly educated one.
The latest data from the Department of Statistics show that over 81 per cent of women aged 35 to 44 had post-secondary education; the number runs up to 90 per cent for those a decade younger.
