Abstract

The article discusses the gender inequalities in entrepreneurship opportunities in Georgian reality. It represents the analysis of existing quantitative and qualitative studies with regard gender inequalities. Desk research method is used to discuss the research question—what is the extent of gender inequalities in work and employment in Post-soviet Georgia. As statistical evidence and rigorous studies conducted by researchers and non-governmental organizations suggested gender inequalities in employment, education and income distributions still prevails in Georgia. Not all groups in society have equal access to employability and entrepreneurial opportunities. Majority in Georgia formally shares the idea of gender equality. Certain percentage of population is in favor of traditional distribution of the gender roles. To overcome the disparity gap between men and women in social life effective mechanism such a quoting is needed. In many developed countries quoting usually is the standard in modern society. Unfortunately the gender hierarchy is still top issue in Georgian families, in political as well as in business space. Women’s Entrepreneurship is effected by existing stereotypes as entrepreneurship is a largely a product of environment rat. Social values, culture, government policies, the political system, technology, economic conditions, customs and laws influence entrepreneurship.
