Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose: The primary objective of this study is to conduct a data-driven bibliometric analysis to explore the intersection of women entrepreneurship and sustainable development. It aims to identify key research trends, critical gaps, and the contributions of women entrepreneurs toward achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing actionable recommendations for policymakers and practitioners.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This study utilizes a bibliometric analysis method, drawing from 454 scholarly documents retrieved from the Scopus database (1995-2024). The analysis is conducted using R Studio's Biblioshiny, focusing on trends in publication volumes, citation metrics, keyword co-occurrence, and thematic developments related to women entrepreneurship and sustainable development.
Findings: The results reveal a substantial growth in research connecting women entrepreneurship with sustainable development. Key thematic clusters include innovation, social entrepreneurship, and policy impacts. The findings highlight women entrepreneurs as critical contributors to achieving SDGs, particularly in the areas of gender equality, environmental sustainability, and community development. However, significant gaps remain, particularly in addressing regional disparities, access to finance, and the long-term sustainability of women-led enterprises.
Research Limitations: The study is limited to data from the Scopus database, which may not encompass all relevant literature. Additionally, the focus on bibliometric analysis may limit the exploration of qualitative aspects of women entrepreneurship and sustainability.
Practical Implications: The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and development practitioners, emphasizing the need for targeted support for women entrepreneurs, including enhanced access to finance, capacity building, and policies that promote sustainability and inclusivity.
