創業女力

Abstract

近年來，台灣社會吹起一股創業風氣，政府與民間組織都積極提供誘因，鼓勵民眾創業；新聞媒體也有大篇幅的報導。但是，在眾多新創事業蓬勃發展之際，創業圈卻存在著性別失衡的問題。不僅創業代表人物幾乎都是男性，就連參與創業的女性比例都相當少。 因此，本深度報導將以新創事業的女性創辦人為主體，藉由採訪多名女性創業家，了解她們不同的創業動機、創業經驗以及從中所獲得的挫折與成長，並將她們的故事呈現在深度報導中。再者，由於影響「人」的因素，往往來自於社會及文化背景，所以，本深度報導也會從這些女性創業家的故事，延伸探討到台灣女性創業環境的結構性因素，藉此了解台灣女性在創業中究竟面臨哪些困難、困難又從何而來，以及該如何提供女性創業家更友善的創業環境。
