Research Objective: The contemporary global economy is characterized by dynamism and rapid development, in which entrepreneurship represents one of the key drivers of economic growth and structural transformation. For Georgia, the promotion of women’s entrepreneurship acquires particular importance in the context of existing economic and geopolitical challenges. The aim of this study is to analyze the instruments, programs, and strategies that facilitate the development of women’s entrepreneurship, including an assessment of initiatives implemented within the framework of state policy. The research examines the effectiveness and accessibility of existing financial, educational, and advisory support mechanisms, as well as identifies the structural, socio-cultural, and economic barriers faced by women entrepreneurs. In addition, the study reviews successful international experiences and explores the possibilities for their adaptation to Georgia’s socio-economic context.
Methodological Approach: The study is based on the analysis of economic policy for the development of women’s entrepreneurship in Georgia, including the examination of the legislative framework, state programs, and strategic documents, as well as a review of contemporary economic and gender-related research literature.
During the analysis, special attention is paid to key issues such as women’s access to financial resources, the development of entrepreneurial education and skills, the economic aspects of gender inequality, the impact of social stereotypes on business activity, regional development characteristics, and the opportunities for inclusive economic growth.
The research applies descriptive and comparative analysis methods, the interpretation of statistical data, logical-analytical reasoning, and synthesis.
Main Findings and Practical Implications: The study shows that the economic policy for the development of women’s entrepreneurship in Georgia has gradually progressed in recent years; however, a number of structural challenges still remain. Programs implemented by the public and private sectors contribute to women’s economic participation, especially at the level of small and medium-sized enterprises.
The research findings represent an important resource for academic research and scholarly analysis, as well as for the formulation of economic policy and the development of strategic approaches to social development.
