FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF INCLUSIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN THE CONDITIONS OF MODERN CHALLENGES

The article is devoted to the concept of inclusive entrepreneurship as an innovative tool for solving socio-economic problems by involving all segments of the population in entrepreneurial activity, regardless of their age, gender, level of education, social status, access to capital, etc. The main benefits of the formation and development of inclusive entrepreneurship are considered, the current state of development of inclusive entrepreneurship in OECD countries, where regular analytical materials consider the barriers existing in society on the way to entrepreneurship for various groups of the population through the prism of “lost” entrepreneurial potential (missing entrepreneurs). The need for such monitoring in Ukraine, research into the current state of access to entrepreneurial activity for marginalized groups, the formation of programs to support inclusive entrepreneurship at the state and local levels, the creation of objective methods for monitoring their effectiveness, and the involvement of non-governmental and commercial organizations in cooperation are emphasized. The main directions of development of inclusive entrepreneurship, a set of actions in economic, educational, institutional and other spheres that will lead to a reduction in barriers to entry into entrepreneurial activity, increased access to capital for all groups of the population, reduction of economic inequality and more effective use of human potential are outlined. In the context of modern challenges (pandemic and its consequences, full-scale war in Ukraine, trade war initiated by the current US administration), the importance of entrepreneurship as one of the most effective elements of a market economy in ensuring macroeconomic stability and development is emphasized, attention is focused on the main problems and challenges that Ukrainian enterprises are currently facing and the need to find all possible tools to support them, one of which is the development of inclusive entrepreneurship.
