Education of women entrepreneurs

In this paper, we discuss the education of women entrepreneurs in different life stages. Education is one of the most widely used indicators of human capital. We assume that there are significant differences among women entrepreneurs at different stages of their lives, in the Early Career and Idealistic Achievement phase, Mid-Career or phase of Pragmatic Endurance, and thirdly, Advanced Career or Reinvention and Recontribution phase. Entrepreneurial women are well aware of and value the knowledge of their businesses. A sizable portion of female entrepreneurs is pursuing higher levels of education and training throughout their careers. A rather low index of business training before starting entrepreneurship and also a low index of ongoing training in business areas, especially in the area of ​​business strategies and management, may mean that this is one of the weak points of female entrepreneurship in our country. Based on the findings of this research we also suggest that educating and promoting entrepreneurship among highly educated female professionals is a challenge to policymakers.
