Abstract

The role of sustainable economies in the success of women-owned businesses across countries is under-researched. This study examines how country economic and political contexts are related to processes that occur in the work–life interface of women entrepreneurs. The research uses data from 10 countries chosen on the basis of multi-dimensional country context constructs (i.e., select economic and political factors). Work–life facets are measured by family instrumental and emotional support (enrichment dimension) and by work–family conflict and other personal problems (interference dimension). The results show that the likelihood of total family (instrumental and emotional) support decreases linearly as the country development level increases. By contrast, the country context is related to work–family conflict and related personal problems in an inverted U-shaped form. Conflict and problems are the highest in mid-level developed countries and lower in both low- and high-level developed economies.
