Abstract: Purpose. The development of entrepreneurship requires the information about the age of aspiring entrepreneurs in modern countries. The goal of the study was to analyze the start of entrepreneurial activity in a number of national economies. At the same time, the following tasks were fulfilled: identification of the main age groups of women-entrepreneurs who set up their own businesses; analysis of proportion of female entrepreneurs in five age groups in different countries; and evaluation of the average values and intervals of changes of five indicators. Methods. The research is based on statistical and economic methods, modeling of empirical data and comparative analysis, as well as systematization and structuring of information. The initial data were the materials of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitoring project for 59 countries. The estimation of the distribution of women-entrepreneurs in these countries was carried out on the basis of the construction of five economic and mathematical models, which were the density functions of the normal distribution. Results. In the course of the computational experiment, the average values of the considered indicators were established. It was proved that women-entrepreneurs prefer to set up their own businesses between the age of 25 and 44. A significant decrease in the number of beginning women-entrepreneurs is observed in the pre-retirement age. It is shown that in 2018 there were significant differences in the values of the five indicators considered by country. The countries that are characterized by the maximum and minimum values of the indicators were identified. A comparative analysis of the values of indicators for Russia and foreign countries was carried out. Scientific novelty. New knowledge has been gained about the age of women-entrepreneurs starting their businesses in modern economies. A comparative cross-country analysis of the start of entrepreneurial activity by women was carried out.
