Abstract
This dissertation explores the development of women's entrepreneurship in Shymkent, Kazakhstan, through a detailed narrative analysis. By interviewing 30 women entrepreneurs, this study aims to understand their motivations, challenges, support systems, and strategies for success. The findings reveal that women in Shymkent are driven by both economic necessity and the desire for independence. Financial barriers, cultural norms, and family responsibilities are identified as significant challenges. However, support from family, friends, professional networks, and government programs plays a crucial role in their entrepreneurial journey. The study highlights the importance of continuous learning, networking, and innovation as key strategies for overcoming obstacles and achieving business success. Based on these insights, several recommendations are proposed to enhance the entrepreneurial environment for women in Shymkent. These include improving access to financial resources, promoting gender equality, providing childcare and family support services, and developing robust networking and mentorship programs. The recommendations aim to address the specific needs and challenges faced by women entrepreneurs, fostering a more inclusive and supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem. By implementing these recommendations, policymakers and support organizations can help women entrepreneurs in Shymkent overcome barriers, achieve their business goals, and contribute significantly to the region's economic and social development. This dissertation contributes to the academic understanding of women's entrepreneurship in a specific cultural and economic context and offers practical solutions for enhancing women's entrepreneurial success.
