Abstract: The business world is rapidly changing adopting new technolยญogies and business models. It affects entrepreneurship, which is one of the most important factors of sustainable development. In recent years, the imยญportance of female entrepreneurship has increased, because more and more women have started to get involved in entrepreneurial activities. Among the main factors influencing female entrepreneurship are education, which gives women the knowledge to succeed as entrepreneurs, and finance, which enยญables women to start their businesses. In order for entrepreneurship to be sucยญcessful, it is of great importance to constantly improve business, which imยญplies constant investment in education and training, and stable income as the source of further investment in business growth. This paper aims to investiยญgate the importance of female education for successful female entrepreneurยญship and sustainable development in Serbia, by examining the correlation beยญtween the education level and: the annual income, and the investment in lifeยญlong learning.
