The research was conducted using the STAR (Situation,Task, Action, Result) interview method with focus groups. It was found that women'sentrepreneurial activity contributes not only to family income, but also plays animportant role in economic development and social welfare. The productivity ofwomen's entrepreneurship and their economic contribution depends on the country'slevel of development and cultural norms. In most regions of the world, local ethics andcultural values strongly define the role of women, which prevents women from pursuingentrepreneurship far from their home areas around the world.The purpose of the study is to examine the challenges faced by women in starting anentrepreneurial activity in Georgia, which will help society to identify the difficultiesthat prevent women from choosing an entrepreneurial activity and advancing theirentrepreneurial career. Gender inequality in employment, education and incomedistribution still exists in Georgia. The majority of the population in Georgia formallyshares the idea of gender equality. At the same time, a certain part of the populationshares the idea of the traditional distribution of gender roles.In the research work the difficulties that prevent women from choosing entrepreneurialactivities and advancing their entrepreneurial career have been revealed. In particular,individual and situational factors affecting business start-up as well as factorsinfluencing the business idea were identified. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.35603\/sws.iscss.2023\/sv04.06","type":"proceedings-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,22]],"date-time":"2024-02-22T04:54:10Z","timestamp":1708577650000},"page":"259-266","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["CHALLENGES OF FEMALE  START-UPS AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP (EVIDENCE FROM GEORGIA)"],"prefix":"10.35603","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Eka","family":"Lekashvili","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University","place":["Georgia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ia","family":"Natsvlishvili","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University","place":["Georgia"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"21192","reference":[{"key":"ref=1","unstructured":"[1] Bergner S., Felfe J., STAR.
