Gender and entrepreneurship: Research frameworks, barriers and opportunities for women entrepreneurship worldwide

The purpose of this editorial is twofold. First, we present a framework to help make sense of how research in gender and entrepreneurship is currently conceptualized and positioned. The framework is based on a review and analysis of the current topics investigated at the intersection of gender and entrepreneurship. We subsequently apply this framework to contextualize the articles in this thematic issue on gender, in addition to offering suggestions for future research.
