Description

ABSTRACT The quantity and quality of rural jobs have been seriously affected by problems such as sagging farm economies, decreases in rural industries, and increased foreign competition, leading many workers to migrate to more urbanized areas. Other workers may choose self-employment over relocation. Women, in particular, may have difficulty finding suitable jobs in rural areas because of their need to balance work and family obligations. Rural areas in general are often considered economically disadvantaged due to problems such as lower levels of capital, less-developed infrastructure, and fewer resources/business services. These factors would logically create difficulties for entrepreneurs and small business owners and therefore discourage business startups. However, interviews with some rural women in Pennsylvania have revealed that rural areas may be more conducive to small business start-ups. This study examines the levels of self-employment by comparing the rates of self-employment for women and men in rural (non-metropolitan) and metropolitan areas within Pennsylvania, the state with the highest number of rural residents.
