Abstract: In response to increasing discussions about gender inequality in corporate boardrooms, often cited as a potential root cause for disparities at other levels, many countries are now actively considering or implementing mandatory gender quotas in boardrooms. This has sparked research into the effects of such policies, primarily focusing on their impact within organizations. Our paper, however, explores the broader societal implications, specifically examining how gender quotas influence women’s career choices, particularly their decision to pursue entrepreneurship. Incorporating the mobility perspective of entrepreneurship, we hypothesize that gender quotas may shift women’s perceptions of career advancement opportunities within organizations, particularly for highly qualified women, and this could potentially discourage them from venturing into entrepreneurship. By analyzing data from Germany, our findings indicate that women with higher education, especially those with STEM backgrounds, are less likely to start their own businesses following the implementation of gender quotas.
