Professional women are more likely to launch their own businesses after becoming mothers because they experience discriminatory wage reduction known as the motherhood penalty, according to a new study from Wharton management professor Tiantian Yang.
The scholars used matched employer/employee data from Sweden that included the entire working population of that country, replete with details on occupation, pay, and child status. They compared mothers and childless women in the same organizations who held the same occupation to determine how many turned to entrepreneurship after motherhood. The larger the earning penalty those mothers experienced, the more likely they were to leave their employers and start their own businesses.

Ok, nowthis: there are Dadpreneurs! The dads who decide to be as well entrepreneurs.Funny you think, this sounds like normal man? Ok and this is the problem.

What we are asking for is to support working mums and working dads more. No need for a special holiday once a year or for flowers and gifts. No need that your child shows you once a year their love.

Many women originally think that loving what they do is enough to create a thriving business. Yes, passion and purpose are important, even vital.

A slang term describing women who run their own businesses while also acting as a full time parent. Mompreneurs are more likely to run a business out of the home than out of a commercial building. Because of family obligations, mompreneurs have to balance the requirements of running a business with the demands of their children, and may do the bulk of their work during the time when their children do not require as much attention.
Across the Internet this term is both embraced and decried by women everywhere! The reason so many shy away from it is because of the obvious connotations that mompreneurs put mommy-hood before business. That, however, is a sweeping generalization. The New York Times offers up a much more interesting (and empowering) definition:
