Women’s entrepreneurship is a powerful source, regarding to the women’s economic independence and empowerment, as well as regarding employment generation, economic growth and innovation, development and the reduction of poverty as well as one of the terms of gender equality. This poster presents the situation of women's entrepreneurship in Europe in comparative terms, with special focus in Albania. The paper has a descriptive nature. Describes three different plans in comparative terms; the representation of men and women in entrepreneurship, the representation of women in entrepreneurship in different countries of Europe and of Europe as a whole, as well as compare to gender quota. Through the processing of secondary data from various reports and studies, this poster concludes that although that the gender equality goal is the equal participation of men and women in all sectors, including the entrepreneurship, in this sector, gender gap it is still deep. Another significant comparative aspect, it is the difference between full and part –time women entrepreneurship. While in full time entrepreneurship in a convince way, men are those that dominate, in part time entrepreneurship clearly it’s evident the opposite trend, women's representation is much higher. It’s very interesting the fact, that the women’s entrepreneurship in Albania, presented in a significant optimistic situation, ranking in the second place, after Greece in the European level

The Relationship

The role of entrepreneurship in economic development is undeniable, and the countries' growth progress is owing to their human resources' capital. As population is constituted of men and women, gender is considered in the mainstream researches. Although the number of women entrepreneurs have been increasing, researches focusing on the relationship that links women to entrepreneurship are still studying the question of religion, specifically Islamic religion, and its impact on entrepreneurship. Indeed, along this chapter, the authors try to re-examine the relationship that links entrepreneurship to culture since religion is a major component of culture. Then, they attempt to present the essence of their research, which is entrepreneurship and religion. And finally, they explore factors that may influence women's entrepreneurship performance as family support, education, government, and personal determinants like motivation and eventual efforts.

Statistical Indicators

The article presents an overview of the labour market in the Republic of Belarus, taking into account the gender factor. Indeed, the labour market of any state has a certain level of gender segregation and to reliably assess this phenomenon, first of all, it is necessary to develop a better understanding of the emerging patterns and trends in the dynamics of the core statistical indicators, and of what processes reduce or fuel gender asymmetry. The author carried out a statistical study on the wage levels of employed in the economy of the Republic of Belarus, and a comparative analysis of its average values for men and women. Despite the fact that the right to work and equal remuneration for men and women are enshrined in law, the problem of gender segregation in the labour market remains relevant. The effective solution of issues of gender inequality is impossible without taking into account the existing gender issues in the country and the main trends reflected in statistical indicators. The author applies statistical methodology of socio-economic analysis to show manifestations of gender inequality in its various forms, for example, hiring discrimination against women, gender pay gap, gender asymmetry in the distribution of workers between economic sectors and activities. Methods of variance analysis serve as a basis to study the relationship between the type of economic activity which employs Belarusian men and women and the level of average wages. Objective statistics suggests that the differences between men and women are often due not so much to biological factors as to social conditions (demands and development of culture, norms of society, etc.). Disclosing wage problems with statistical means, the author argues that gender equality acts not only as a goal but also as an essential means of achieving sustainable development, which is impossible without modernizing existing political and socio-economic mechanisms.

The Impact

The consequences of the declared pandemic, which led to the COVID–19 outbreak, a year later showed changes in almost all areas, especially in such areas as health, economy, education, business, etc. The purpose of the study is to consider the impact of the pandemic on the development of women’s entrepreneurship in Kazakhstan, what consequences women’s business faced, what measures were taken and how effective they were, including measures of state support for entrepreneurship in general. If in 2019 there was a difference in the financing of projects headed by women and men (the gender gap in funding in 2019 was almost 80%, and in 2020 – 96%), then the preliminary situation for 2020 shows that the crisis is equally felt by both men and women entrepreneurs. Given that while there are some operational data for 2020, it is difficult to immediately determine which of the economic measures were the most effective, which were less effective, and this is due to the fact that the pandemic period is not over, and their effectiveness depends on the epidemiological situation in the regions of the republic. In general, the measures are ineffective for reasons of insufficient awareness of small and medium-sized businesses, not falling into the category to which these or other measures apply, or the measures provided were not sufficiently significant in comparison with the losses. Government support measures taken by countries include a wide range, but the most effective financial measures.
