Botswana
Women in Botswana are nearly as ambitious as their male counterparts to pursue business opportunities (as opposed to being necessity‐driven) in order to increase their income or financial independence (61.9% for females against 67.9% for males).
They also have strong representation as business leaders in society, accounting for nearly 4 out of every 10 leaders. This is not surprising, given that women’s tertiary education gross enrolment rate (27.3%) is higher than men’s (18.9%).
