Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the urgent need to form a qualitatively updated legal field in entrepreneurship development in rural areas as one of the determining factors for the growth of the welfare of the population and the motivation of the economically active stratum to employment in rural areas. The purpose of the study is to define the category “stimulating the development of entrepreneurship in rural areas” and determine the tasks and fundamental principles of this activity. Achieving this goal was made possible by a comprehensive analysis of theoretical sources and provisions of current and future legislation. As a result of the study conducted, the author’s definition of the concept of “stimulating the development of entrepreneurship and rural areas” is formulated through its understanding as a set of measures of legal regulation and national policy. The purpose of these measures is to simplify the procedure for creating business entities and the procedure for conducting business activities within rural areas, which will increase the economic attractiveness of business in rural areas. The expansion of the field of stimulating business activities in rural areas that are not related to the production of agricultural products is considered promising, which is especially important in the realities of finding additional ways to support the population in the conditions of war and post-war reconstruction. The principles of stimulating the development of entrepreneurship in rural areas, on which legislation in this area and the regulation of relevant relations should be based, are defined. The practical importance of the study lies in the fact that it can become a source for formulating the content of regulatory acts in the field of stimulating the development of entrepreneurship in rural areas.
