Abstract:
Purpose: This research investigates the evolving landscape of women entrepreneurship through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. By examining global trends and identifying future research directions, the study offers insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by women entrepreneurs.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Using the Scopus database, 296 articles published between 2008 and 2024 were analyzed with tools like R Studio and VOSviewer. Key themes, influential contributors, and geographical trends were identified through keyword analysis, citation metrics, and co-authorship networks.
Findings: Prominent keywords include “women entrepreneurs”, “female entrepreneurship”, “education”, “empowerment”, and “challenges”. Leading contributors are Bal R, Akhmadi S, Shastri S., Ahl H., Marlow S., and Welsh D., with the United States, United Kingdom, Netherlands, India, Sweden, and Spain emerging as the most prolific research countries. The International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship leads in publications, supported by significant contributions from the International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business and the International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behaviour and Research.
Originality/Value: This study highlights the persistent gender disparities and sociocultural dynamics shaping women entrepreneurship. It provides a strategic roadmap for academics and policymakers to address research gaps, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and promote gender equity in entrepreneurship through targeted interventions.Pages: 1134-1145 | Views: 88 | Downloads: 57
