Women’s entrepreneurship is a relatively new phenomenon for Kazakhstan, and its emergence was due not only to significant economic transformations in the country related to the development of the economy, but also to the socio–economic status of women. In this regard, the interest in this topic is very great.

Women tend to develop sustainable business strategies, conduct their business more responsibly and carefully.
