Накратко на български

Разнообразието от пол и етнос сред хората, които създават патенти и стартъпи, влияе върху видовете нови продукти. По-широкият достъп до възможности помага за справяне с забавянето на производителността и за появата на по-разнообразни идеи.

Gender and Ethnic Integration in Science, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship

There has been a clear increase in gender and ethnic diversity in the population and many workplaces. Despite this, patented inventions and high-growth startups tend to come from a very narrow subset of the population, generally men from wealthy family backgrounds. If innovation and entrepreneurship became more inclusive and integrated, would we see not only more innovations and startups, but possibly quite different kinds of innovations and startups? In other words, does the demography of who invents and founds companies matter for what gets invented and founded? Increasing inclusion and integration in innovation and entrepreneurship is a critical task for our societies. First, from an equality perspective access to opportunities and integration of the population across gender and ethnic lines is important. Second, our societies face aging populations and slowing productivity, which means greater innovative and entrepreneurial activity is essential. Third, while purely quantitative increases in innovation and entrepreneurship would be important, greater inclusion and integration also hold the promise of greater diversity of new innovative ideas and startups. The objectives of this project are to assess how inclusion and integration have changed over time, what are the barriers to inclusion and integration, and what are the consequences

Цел на проекта

While gender and ethnic diversity have increased in the workforce, the evidence is much less clear on whether there has been an increase in gender and ethnic integration, i.e., people actually working together across gender and ethnic lines. This project will analyse large databases (1) to assess trends in gender and ethnic integration in science, innovation, and entrepreneurship, (2) to understand the causes and consequences of gender and ethnic integration as well as potential barriers, and (3) to improve the methodology in the study of gender and ethnic integration and to develop indices that could be used to track changes. The project is specifically focused on European data and will consider issues related to differences in the level of integration within as well as between countries. Furthermore, the project will be able to analyze integration at multiple levels including team, organization, city, and field. The project will use large databases including PATSTAT, Microsoft Academic Graph, and government registry data, combined with name-matching algorithms to estimate the gender and ethnicity of the scientists, inventors, and entrepreneurs. The results of the project are highly relevant for scholars studying innovation, entrepreneurship, social inclusion, social structure, and inequality. The results will also be translated into insights for managers to help them understand and possibly integration in their organizations, yielding greater creativity and innovativeness. Furthermore, the results are of interest to policy makers as increasing gender and ethnic integration within Europe would help European competitiveness as well as the cohesion of European societies.
