• Tackling the hidden enterprise culture: Government policies to support the formalization of informal entrepreneurship (2012, unknown): “Informal entrepreneurship was thus portrayed as ‘involuntary’, ‘forced’, ‘reluctant’ or ‘survivalist’ (Boyle 1994; Valenzuela 2001; Singh and De Noble 2003; Hughes 2006; Bourne 2011; Hormiga, Batista-Canino, and Sánchez-Medina 2011; Mainardes, Alves, and Raposo 2011; Yang and Li 2011).”
• Why Do Individuals Choose Self-Employment? (2009, unknown): “Similarly, using data from a much larger nationally representative survey of 3,840 self-employed Canadians for 2000, the same author reports that ‘independence/freedom’ is the most important motivator for both men and women when entering into self-employment (Hughes, 2006).”
• Gender and field of study as determinants of self-employment (2010, unknown): “Hughes 2006 ). As Lombard (2001) points out, a significant share of this increase can be traced back to the rise in women’s earning potential in self-employment.”
• Gender effects on entrepreneurial intention: a meta‐analytical structural equation model (2013, unknown): “independence, challenge, and high risk taking, which are more strongly linked to men than women (Ahl, 2006; Gupta et al., 2009; Stewart Jr. and Roth, 2001; Buttner and Moore, 1997; Hughes, 2006).”
• Self-employment and family life: constructing work–life balance when you're ‘always on’ (2014, unknown): “The push, pull, and work–family motivations for self-employment identified by others (e.g., see Bell & LaValle, 2003; Delage, 2002; Hughes, 2006; Marler & Moen, 2005; Walker & Webster, 2007) were evident to varying degrees among all participants in this study.”
• Gender, Risk, and Venture Creation Intentions (2015, unknown): “Indeed, insofar as women may choose to venture a business for family-work balance motives rather than financial or market opportunity motives typically reported by men (Hughes, 2006), then even if such a shift in attitude could be engineered, then it may have limited impact.”
