Many of the country''s younger females are unenthusiastic about the prospect of starting up their own company in the future, new research suggests.
Figures published by The Co-operative Financial Services (CFS) show that fewer than eight per cent of 14 to 24-year-olds polled in a survey are keen to launch a new business venture.
Meanwhile, as many as 80 per cent of respondents believe women face more of a struggle than their male counterparts to progress in the world of business.

The CFS''s director of organisational development Karen Moir believes that the inequalities that exist between male and female workers need to be tackled.
"Inspiring the next generation to realise their dreams and potential is vital for business and the UK economy if it is to achieve its full potential," she stated.
Earlier this month, the Institute of Directors expressed concern that UK entrepreneurs might be negatively impacted by regulatory demands.
