“…Studies by Berii (2019) did mention that the knowledge they gain from their higher education institute like ecommerce, marketing, innovation, economics, entrepreneurship, and many more subjects that are related will drive a positive economic empowerment and equip them better to be a successful entrepreneur. This statement is in line with a study by Al-kwifi et al (2019) that having the right knowledge to start up a business is very important towards the success of women entrepreneurs.…”

Within this study, we want to examine factors those determine to the rise of womenpreneurship, since it is one of the most important 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to eradicate national poverty as well as to support the innovation and ever-growing economy. The increasing of women's participation in entrepreneurs demonstrated positive impact of female entrepreneurs, not only on the family but also on economic growth and development. We build our theoretical framework based on literature surveys; that factors of an inspiring role model, education on digital skills, and financial support, which taken from Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), contribute to this increasing of womenpreneurship participation. As far as we have known, we are among the first who establish the study focused on women entrepreneurs, especially among the B40 economic social class. We employ a quantitative approach of Multiple Regression Linear Analysis with a convenience sample, comprising 100 women entrepreneurs in Melaka. We find that women entrepreneurs with clear targets, would not only possess the right attitude in their entrepreneurial path, but also become the society role models at the same time. Also, when facing the social pressure, womenpreneurs will equip themselves with proper education to grasp more opportunities. Even though limited by the participation rate, especially those in the rural areas, we would like to make recommendations on ways to encourage more women to pursue entrepreneurship, especially during the Covid-19 outbreak.

“…The phenomenon of entrepreneurship and entrepreneur self-efficacy has been considerably gaining attention from the academic scholars since the past decade (Chan, Uy, Chernyshenko, Ho, & Sam, 2015;Obschonka, Hakkarainen, Lonka, & Salmela-Aro, 2017b). However, it is seen that even now a gender gap exist in the entrepreneurship as the number of women working as successful entrepreneurs, though, on the rise is still less as compared to men in this field (Al-Kwifi et al, 2020;Henry, Foss, & Ahl, 2016;Roy & Das, 2019) recommended that in order to address this gender gap, the contextual factors affecting the intention of females to start working as entrepreneurs need to be identified in detail. Since the studies on female entrepreneurship behavior are limited and sparse, hence research needs to be conducted on the females of the developing countries (Dvouletý, Gordievskaya, & Procházka, 2018;Hussain & Malik, 2018) testing the impact of social factors (Giménez & Calabrò, 2018), entrepreneur self-efficacy (Mustafa, Hernandez, Mahon, & Chee, 2016;Wang, Chang, Yao, & Liang, 2016), support and knowledge relating to entrepreneurship (Saeed, Yousafzai, Ya-ni-De-Soriano, & Muffatto, 2015) on the entrepreneurship intention.…”

“…Kolb, 2006) have put forward that if the females are provided with support in the form of finances, then they can easily open a business and can bring positive changes to the economy. Due to gender gaps and discrimination in many developing countries, females find it difficult to get loan from the banks, which restricts their activities to enter into or run a new business setup (Al-Kwifi et al, 2020;Başçı & Alkan, 2015;Samuel, Ernest, & Awuah, 2013). have proved that FS can positively foster the FEI.More determinants of FEI are EK and AO.…”

Entrepreneurship has become very popular in the recent times and people are pursuing opportunities for new venture creation in different sectors. The phenomenon of "female entrepreneurship" is gaining wide popularity worldwide and now the interest of women in carrying out entrepreneurial activities is also increasing owing to the female empowerment in societies. The female entrepreneurs are highly affected by social, personality and institutional factors that motivate and encourage them in their entrepreneurial activities. The purpose of this study is to find out the impact of social support, financial support, entrepreneurial knowledge and achievement orientation on female entrepreneurial intention along with the mediating impact of entrepreneurial self-efficacy. For this purpose, the data was collected from 311 respondents from China and 311 from Pakistan through the administration of questionnaire. SPSS and AMOS were used for analysis and structural equation modelling has been used. The results have suggested that in case of China, all independent variables have significant impacts on female entrepreneurial intention but in case of Pakistan, financial support does not have the significant impact on female entrepreneurial intention. On the other hand, in case of China, the mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy is significant in all cases, but in case of Pakistan, this mediating role is not significant in case of entrepreneurial knowledge.

Studies of the distinct experience of women entrepreneurs in non‐Western settings are rare. Extant studies of women's entrepreneurship focus, almost exclusively, on developed Western economies and tend to underplay the role of the family, which has become unnaturally separated from entrepreneurship research. Based on a structured literature review, this article advances the understanding of how family related issues shape women's gendered experience as entrepreneurs in developing countries. It addresses the diversity of experiences of women entrepreneurs, and discusses both the positive and negative aspects of familial issues, as well as some broader contextual features related to the family. It offers an agenda for future research on this topic, and provides a useful guide for policy makers and practitioners intending to facilitate women's entrepreneurship in developing countries.
