Opolnomočenje ženskega podjetništva skozi socialne inovacije v republiki Severni Makedoniji : diplomsko delo

Poposka, Verica (author), Ilič, Branko (mentor)

V Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2019/2020 Global Report je poudarjeno, da je Severna Makedonija država z nizko stopnjo ženskega podjetništva. S stopnjo moške zgodnje podjetniške aktivnosti pri 9,0 % in s stopnjo ženske zgodnje podjetniške aktivnosti pri 3,3 % je Severna Makedonija ena od držav z najvišjimi stopnjami podjetniškega razhajanja po spolu. Pojav in razvoj ženskega podjetništva v zadnjih nekaj letih sta tesno povezana s procesom doseganja enakopravnosti spolov in vsesplošno demokratizacijo makedonske družbe. Sprostitev tega potenciala je ključna za gospodarsko rast. Analiza je pokazala, da v Severni Makedoniji pravni okvir v smislu podjetniškega ekosistema potrebuje nadaljnje izboljšave, še posebej ker je zakonodaja ključno orodje zdrave politike, ki omogoča trajnostni razvoj in promocijo inovacij. Pravna določila za odprtje podjetja in reševanje insolventnosti so opogumljajoča. Vendar pa so makedonske ženske podjetnice še vedno soočene s pomanjkanjem dostopa do finančnih sredstev, s težavami, povezanimi s spolom, in s socialnimi in kulturnimi obvezami. S kritičnim pregledom obstoječe literature in evaluacijo trenutne situacije tega segmenta je to diplomsko delo identificiralo izzive, s katerimi se sooča žensko podjetništvo v Severni Makedoniji, in to, kako lahko razvojni programi pomagajo razrešiti to problematiko in opolnomočijo ženske podjetnice z uporabo socialne inovacije.

Abstract

According to the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor 2019/2020 Global Report, North Macedonia is highlighted as a country with a significantly low rate of female entrepreneurship. With male rates for the early-stage entrepreneurial activity of 9.0% and female rates of 3.3%, this places North Macedonia as one of the countries with the highest levels of gender-based levels of entrepreneurship discrepancies. Emergence and development of female entrepreneurship over the last years are closely linked to the process of achieving gender equality, and the overall democratization of Macedonian society. Unlocking this potential is essential for economic growth. The analysis showed that the legal framework in North Macedonia in terms of the entrepreneurial ecosystem needs further improvement, especially since legislation is a key tool of a sound policy that is conducive for the sustainable development and promotion of innovation. The legal provisions for starting a business and resolving insolvency are encouraging. However, Macedonian female entrepreneurs are still faced with a lack of access to finance, gender-related problems, and social and cultural commitments. With a critical review of the existing literature and evaluation of the current situation of this segment, this thesis identified the challenges female entrepreneurs face in North Macedonia and how development programs can address these issues, empowering female entrepreneurs through the use of social innovation.
