The objective of this document is to identify the most relevant factors that contribute to the creation and permanence of women-led companies in Mexico, for this the profile of women who start a business and the conditions in which they join this activity are defined. The research is descriptive, based on statistical and documentary sources, data from the National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS) and the National Women's Institute (INMUJERES) are reviewed. The results show that women have been severely affected by unemployment and the precariousness of the labor market, that female entrepreneurship arises, mainly as a way to face the poverty and marginalization of their families and not as a way of make productive use of material, physical and intellectual resources. Therefore, it is important to consider the conditions, needs and motivations in the construction of public policies for women to create their own businesses, so that government support promotes the survival and growth of these ventures.
