We worked with a sample with 7,411 working women and 1,688 businesswomen and used a two-stage model (Probit and MCO). Our findings revealed differences between economic returns, depending on the source of work, businesswomen had the lowest returns. The balance childcare and low incomes that women earn as a working woman, caused by the low educational level, it is the principal motivation for women to be businesswomen.
