Long-Term Entrepreneurship Patterns: A National Study of Black and White Female Entry and Stayer Status Differences Journal of Small Business Management 32,1 (January 1994): 18-26 Cohort(s): Mature Women Publisher: International Council For Small Business (ICSB) Keyword(s): Black Studies; Minority Groups; Racial Differences; Self-Employed Workers Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This article examines the long-term self-employment rate differences between black and white women in the U.S. Data were taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience, that followed a sample of women from 1967-89. The approach uses a decompositional methodology to analyze black/white self-employment rate differences. Decomposition results indicate that differences in the probability of entry and differences in the pool of potential stayers account for about 90 percent of the overall self-employment rate difference between black and white women over the survey years considered. The study found that black women are far less likely to enter entrepreneurship than white women but that once they do they are only marginally less likely to stay. Moreover, the lower black entry probabilities directly translate into a smaller pool of potential black stayers and contribute to the black/white self-employment gap. |
