This study uses a systematic literature review of international publications to examine the effects of institutional framework conditions and the availability of resources on the gender gap in entrepreneurship. Although fostering female entrepreneurship has long been a focus of eco-nomic policy, the gender gap in entrepreneurial activity is hardly closing either nationally or internationally. The existing studies focus in particular on political efforts to create a gender-sensitive institutional framework. Long-term measures aimed at changing gender roles and the still male-dominated image of entrepreneurship are necessary to effectively support female entrepreneurship.
