Abstract

This paper investigates the effects of education, entrepreneurial learning and enterprise skills on the female entrepreneurship in digital age. In the empirical research participated 143 women enterprises and entrepreneurs, mostly from the micro sized companies from food production and services sector in 2020 Serbia. Beside the state of play of these dimensions of education in Serbia, key findings confirmed the hypothesis of the research, that there is the significant impact of entrepreneurial learning and skills to female entrepreneurship in Serbia. Methods used were correlation and regression analysis. The contribution of the research can be seen in bridging the digital gender divide by awareness raising of equipping and training women and girls with the skills needed to participate and thrive in the digital transformation and in new possibilities to start or develop their own business.
