External publications Do public childcare services promote start-ups?

Does public childcare provision have an impact on women’s and men’s start-up activities in Germany? Dr Rosemarie Kay, Dr Teita Bijedić-Krumm, Dr Siegrun Brink and Dr Sebastian Nielen explore this question in their chapter "Public childcare – a neglected element of entrepreneurship ecosystems?". The results show that public childcare provision affects women’s as well as men’s start-up activities, though partly differently. Moreover, it makes a difference to which age group the childcare provision is aimed.

Their chapter has been published in the anthology "Gendering Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: Levelling the Field".
