Exploring Gendered Perceptions of Entrepreneurship: Evidence from a Quantitative Survey

Abstract: Entrepreneurship is widely recognized for fostering independence, innovation, and economic empowerment. However, gender-based differences in perceived entrepreneurial benefits remain underexplored. This quantitative study examined whether male and female participants differ significantly in their perceptions of entrepreneurial benefits. Using a structured survey administered to ten participants (six females, four males), responses were rated on a 5-point Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics and an independent two-sample t-test. Results revealed no statistically significant difference between male and female perceptions (p = 0.447), indicating gender may not substantially influence perceptions of entrepreneurial benefits within this sample. Implications for inclusive entrepreneurial training and policy development are discussed. Keywords: Gender Differences, Perception, Entrepreneurial Benefits, Quantitative Research.
