Updated: Mar 23, 2021

A big part of the Small Firm Diaries will be exploring barriers to women-led businesses and reasons behind the gender profit gap. On March 2, the Financial Access Initiative held a faiVLive webinar on the latest research about the gender profit gap, with Nava Ashraf, Morgan Hardy, Rachael Pierotti, and Tatiana Rincón, and moderated by Tim Ogden. Watch a recording of our discussion here.


Below we share links to some key research discussed during the webinar.
