Abstract
It is said that there exist trouble factors of female-owned businesses and they disturb the growth of female-owned businesses. This paper, focusing on the balancing of work and family roles and discontinuance of career, examines whether trouble factors of female-owned businesses can explain the characteristics of female-owned businesses in Kwangju-Cheonnam region. The results show that these disturbing factors effect the accumulation of capitals for start-ups of femaleowned businesses and careers of female business owners, so that female-owned businesses enter disproportionately on service industry and their sizes are small. These support existing study results.
여성기업에는 장애요인이 존재하며, 이는 여성기업의 성장을 저해하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 이 글은 여성기업의 장애요인으로 일과 가정생활의 균형, 경력단절 등에 초점을 맞추면서 이들이 여성기업의 성장에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 검토하는데 그 목적이 있다. 분석결과에 따르면 이들 장애요인이 자본의 축적, 경력 등에 영향을 미치고 나아가 이들 요인들이 상호작용하여 여성기업은 주로 서비스업에 진출하고 기업규모도 소규모로 되기 쉽다.
