The study found that economic development and access to education is not enough to create a strong entrepreneurial environment, as cultural and societal factors also play a part.

Those countries that can change the cultural norms that undermine a woman\u2019s ability to become skilled, educated and confident will benefit most as they see high-potential women pursue their entrepreneurial ambitions to the benefit of the economy, culture, and society as a whole.\u201d For the full GEDI report, please click: \u00a0http:\/\/www.dell.com\/learn\/us\/en\/uscorp1\/corporate~secure~en\/documents~gender_gedi_executive_report.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n IV.
