Chapter 7: Women Entrepreneurs and Managers in Serbia

Serbia, like most of the eastern European countries that are in the process of transition, has appeared in terms of the development of entrepreneurship, especially for the women entrepreneurship. Small or micro businesses became an important factor of growth and employment in these countries, although these potentials had not been completely used. This unusual possibility has especially related to those women who, despite their high education and high participation in the labor market, became entrepreneurs twice as less as men. This difference can be noticed in all countries, regardless of the degree of participation of small or micro businesses in their economies.
