The Word of Editor-in-Chief 

 
 

Majority of this volume’s materials are prepared for a 
Conference "ECONOMIC PROSPECTS IN THE 
SECOND DECADE OF THE 21st CENTURY - How 
to Get Out of the Crisis – which will be held on 14-15th 
April 2010 at Institute of Economic Sciences and 
Belgrade Banking Academy in Belgrade. 
Women are more directly exposed as employees and 
business owners to the impact of the current economic 

crisis than ever before. Women’s earnings have become increasingly important to 
the family economy and the impact on families of women’s job losses and 
business failures is greater than in previous recessions. Because that, it should be 
paid more attention to women and entrepreneurship as well as to the sort of self 
employment that attracts women, to starting or growing micro or small enterprises 
and to social enterprise. Namely, women’s entrepreneurship can make a 
particularly strong contribution to the economic well-being of the family and 
communities, poverty reduction and women’s empowerment.  
This volume contains ten articles covering a wide range of topics as follow: 
business environment, business knowledge, social entrepreneurship, social 
changes and their impact on women, motivation for small and medium-sized 
entrepreneurs, job formation through self-employment and small-business 
creation and so forth.
