Abstract
The aim of the study is to assess the current levels of termination of entrepreneurial activity by women and men in modern national economies. The study solved the problem of determining the values of indicators that characterize the termination of an entrepreneur's activity, as well as the impact on this process of such factors as unprofitability of production and lack of finance. The study used the results of surveys con-ducted in 59 countries during the implementation of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor project as initial information. The results showed that in most countries there is a gender gap between the proportion of adult female entrepreneurs who have terminated their activities and the corresponding indicators for male entre-preneurs. It is proven that almost half of men and women in the countries under review have closed their business due to lack of profit or financial problems.
