Fast-forward to 2025 and you’ll discover those lopsided sex ratios still echo in who starts businesses and why.📜 In their forthcoming Journal of Business Venturing article—yes, that’s an FT50 heavyweight—researchers Sefa Awaworyi Churchill, Simon Chang, Russell Smyth, and Trong-Anh Trinh trace how gender-skewed convict days imprinted cultural norms that still nudge Aussie men toward entrepreneurship. Family dinner-table stories, playground chatter, even neighborhood folklore… it all keeps the entrepreneurial flame burning. 🔥So rev up your curiosity engines as we ask:❓ If ghosts of a gender-imbalanced past still shape today’s start-up landscape, what other hidden histories are steering our economic future?🙏 Huge thanks to the authors and to Elsevier for publishing this provocative work in such a prestigious journal.Before you sprint off to Google your own family history, smash that subscribe button for Revise and Resubmit on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Prime, and catch video deep-dives on our YouTube channel Weekend Researcher.🚀 Until next time, keep questioning, keep revising, and never stop resubmitting!ReferenceChurchill, S.
