Chosen Aspects of Culture Related Self-employment of Polish Females in the United States of America

Summary/Abstract: Self-employment as a sign of entrepreneurship is an important source of work places in the United States of America. In 2015 15,0 million people, which is 10,1 percent of the total employment in the United States, led their own business. The citizens of the United States who have been born abroad increase the shared number among both, self-employed as well as those who were hired. As far as the number of established by Poles companies in the USA is considered, The Fiscal Policy Institute Report claims that Poles occupy the tenth place as immigrants. Among entrepreneurs the percentage of females is constantly increasing. Self-employment of Polish immigrant females under examination corresponds with a current trend of entrepreneurship of females in Poland but their „cultural equipment” differs from the „cultural equipment” of their hosts. That results in their different approach in creating and running business. Perhaps the United States’ culture that is a positive reinforcement in creating and engaging new technologies will influence the tendency and undertaking of innovative activities and strategies of business development among female immigrants from Poland.
