Abstract:
Starting a business is always challenging for people that want to become entrepreneurs, especially for women. It is necessary to encourage the development of entrepreneurship as a way of solving the unemployment rate of groups in the society that have a problem with the employment. The aim of this paper is to show the main characteristics of women entrepreneurship and main problems they are facing, thus promoting their economic power. Recommendations are presented. It is necessary to change the perceptions, attitudes and habits of society towards women in entrepreneurship, to demolish rigid social paradigms, to encourage women for lifelong learning, to prepare them to gain new skills and competences, to provide greater and more diverse support, to intensify coordination and cooperation among policy makers, and to implement other programmes that contribute to the development of women's entrepreneurship, their entrepreneurial ventures, innovations and development of new business models that will undoubtedly have impact on the growth and development of the overall economy. The government also needs to prepare new “Strategy of women entrepreneurship” for the new decade, especially with the emphasis on digital era that will bring new challenges for entrepreneurship as a whole and especially for women entrepreneurs. This research can be extended in the future and can serve as a starting point for further exploration, which will deal with this issue, especially the examination of the influence of various social arrangements and practices on women entrepreneurship or different motivational factors that drive women in the world of entrepreneurship.
