The article assesses the prospects for increasing the number of employees in businesses created by women entrepreneurs and men entrepreneurs in modern national economies according to data for 2018. The study solved the problem of determining the values of indicators that characterize the proportion of women and men who plan to increase the number of employees by at least six people within five years in the total number of relevant gender strata of entrepreneurs. The results showed that in most countries there is a gender gap between the indicators of job growth, that is, in businesses created by women, in most countries, a smaller increase in the number of employees is expected than in men.
