Abstract
This article examines the role of female entrepreneurship in the socio-economic development of regions and addresses the issues of determining its impact on regional performance indicators. The primary focus of the study is on identifying the significance of entrepreneurial activities conducted by women in enhancing economic activity, expanding employment opportunities, creating new jobs, and increasing population incomes. During the research, the factors shaping regional socio-economic efficiency were grouped from the perspective of their interrelationships, and a multi-factor assessment approach was developed based on indicators characterizing the state of female entrepreneurship development. In this context, the impact of factors such as the number of business entities, financing opportunities, female employment, entrepreneurial income, availability of state support, and business infrastructure on regional outcomes were considered primary criteria. The obtained results allow for a systematic evaluation of the relationship between the level of female entrepreneurship development and the socio-economic indicators of the region.
