“…Prior research has begun to capture the characteristics of female entrepreneurs in Asia and how they are shaped: that is, although female entrepreneurs are disadvantaged in many ways (Ghouse et al, 2017), they are eager to break out and demonstrate hard work, diligence, perseverance, and willpower (Hossain et al, 2020;Siddiqui, 2012;Singh, 2014). Prior studies further show that the formation of female entrepreneurial identities and their success is heavily influenced by challenges related to social norms and the gender expectations imposed on them (Franzke & Froese, 2019). Umar et al (2022) pointed out that the inherent obstacle is women's empowerment, which has been largely ignored by society.…”

Female entrepreneurs contribute substantially to economic growth in Asia. Despite their economic success, we know relatively little about them. This article presents a comprehensive review of female entrepreneurs in Asia, focusing on how they differ from their counterparts in the West, along four dimensions: female entrepreneurs’ unique characteristics, their distinct intentions, their constraints on resources, and their management styles. Our analysis revealed striking differences between female entrepreneurs in Asia and those in the West but also substantial heterogeneity within Asia. In developing Asian countries, female entrepreneurs often have a low level of education and work in the informal sector, driven by economic necessity, whereas many female entrepreneurs in transitioning/developed Asian countries are highly educated and work in high-growth industries. Culture and different religions, e.g., Islam and Hinduism, are major sources of constraints for the education and financing of female entrepreneurs in Asia. Family ties play a key role in the leadership style of female entrepreneurs in Asia. The review and analysis have important implications for future research and entrepreneurial practice.

“…Despite these advancements, women in Asia face gender disparities influenced by sociopolitical factors such as religion, culture, and governmental policies (Elam et al, 2022). Traditional gender norms and legal barriers persist, affecting millions of Asian women and emphasizing the need for deeper understanding and targeted strategies to support female entrepreneurship (Franzke & Froese, 2019;World Bank, 2023;.…”

In Asia, there has been a notable surge in the representation of women in leadership roles and entrepreneurial endeavours, aligning with the increasing acknowledgement of women's importance in politics and the economy. It is predicted that the future development and economic prosperity of Asia will heavily rely on the advancement of female entrepreneurship and empowerment. This research aims to provide empirical evidence on the correlation between female entrepreneurship and economic advancement within the diverse landscape of Asia context, using panel data spanning from 1998 to 2021 across 47 Asian countries. The findings of fixed-effect regression reveal a consistently positive association between women's entrepreneurial activities and economic progress across all Asian economies, encompassing both developed and developing nations. These findings are pivotal for crafting tailored policies aimed at enhancing female participation in entrepreneurship, thereby catalyzing economic growth and advancing towards the most potential in terms of socio-economic conditions.
