THE CURRENT SITUATION OF WOMEN ENTREPRENEURS IN MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES IN TURKEY AND EU COUNTRIES

Abstract

The social vulnerability of women in the workplace is clearly visible. Women are significantly less likely than men to hold top management positions, and their pay is often lower. In most industrialized countries, this is a regular occurrence. In most cases, women who want to start their own business are faced with certain restrictions of various types, or with insufficient support within the family or from society. Objectively, this has a very negative effect on the economy and social relations. The development of small and medium-sized businesses is the basis for the stability of the state economy. In the interests of economic and social progress, a new understanding of the role of women's entrepreneurship in the life of society and the state is necessary. The goal of this research is to identify the constraints that directly impact the growth of socioeconomic and motivational elements for women's entrepreneurial activity in Europe and contemporary Turkey today, as well as what steps are being made to ensure its future development
