 Women are now more willing to take risks and set up their own business, according to the president of the British Association of Women Entrepreneurs.Tanya Hine has said that women across the UK are more open to taking risks, rather than "bring up a family like they used to do". In news which may interest women considering launching a fitness centre, she also warned that its need to be recognised that it could take a "few years" before the enterprise begins to make a profit. Ms Hine said that in the current economic climate, "men and women alike" are "struggling". According to the Office For National Statistics, 30 per cent of women had a flexible working pattern in the second quarter of 2008, compared to 20 per cent of men. It also found that 38 per cent of women with dependent children worked part-time, with the figure for males at 22 per cent.  |
