A Drift In Women Micro-Entrepreneurship: A Bibliometric And Systematic Review Since 2018
Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose - The study aims for bibliometric as well as systematic review analysis by analyzing trends in various authors, documents, topics, conceptual structures, collaboration networks, and additional information in the field of women's micro-entrepreneurship.
Methodology- This work analyzed a total of 130 publications that were recovered from the WOS (Web of Science) record from 2018 to 2023 and conclusions were drawn using the ‘bibliometric R-package’ and ‘VOS viewer’.
Findings- Observations have shown that after 2021, scholarly attention quickened. Trends related to women's micro-entrepreneurship during the selected period include women, entrepreneurship, perspective, perceptions, efficacy, and innovation. In developing nations such as India, women are often viewed as family supporters and their husbands often do not support them in starting their businesses. Various studies examine policies and agencies responsible for improving women's micro-entrepreneurship, focusing on policy implementation and microfinance factors like savings, network affiliation, training, and credit access. The state plays a vibrant role in developing the socioeconomic status and technological knowledge of female micro-entrepreneurs. Rather than just launching financial schemes, more intensive training for micro-entrepreneurship development is needed.
Practical implications- Practitioners, and researchers will find this bibliometric analysis and the mentioned dimensions useful which serves as a basis for upcoming research in this area.
Originality- The findings may give scholars and professionals information about the current situation and trending topics of female entrepreneurs. We put out a few research questions that may be addressed in the future for each of the primary study directions.
