Canada: work-related barriers for women-owned firms 2023

At the beginning of 2023, 56.6 percent of businesses majority-owned by women identified rising inflation as an obstacle in the next three months. The second barrier identified was rising costs of inputs, which was seen as a challenge by 40 percent of predominantly women-owned businesses, more than six points lower than among the overall Canadian private sector.
