“…Conversely, women might uphold marriage for practical reasons, such as social security amidst gender inequality. For example, women cannot pass citizenship to children as men can (Ding, 2022), and gender gaps persist in multiple sectors (Chipfunde et al, 2021;Moorthy et al, 2022;Suleman et al, 2021). In such an environment, females might, unsurprisingly, seek marriage as social security.…”

The uncertain future due to COVID-19 pandemic and the technological advancements may have altered young adults' experiences of romantic relationships. It is unclear whether individuals will continue to prefer traditional long-term romantic relationships (LTRR) or opt for short-term ones (STRR). This research describes how young adults in Malaysia perceive LTRR and STRR. Using the structured approach of the Theory of Social Representation, data were collected from N N = 512; 238 (46.48%) male; M age 21.75; majority are heterosexual and students, and analyzed using prototypical analysis to reveal high consensus elements. Five observations were made: (1) females prioritize "Love" in both STRR and LTRR, while males prioritize "love" only in LTRR; (2) females prioritize "marriage" in LTRR, while men prioritize "trust," "comfort," and "stability." Males do not consider "marriage" as part of a LTRR; (3) both males and females view STRR positively, while LTRR are viewed more practically; (4) "sex" is a core element in STRR but is absent in LTRR; (e) males differentiate between STRR and LTRR with no overlapping elements. These findings provide insight into the social representations of romantic relationships among young adults in Malaysia and suggest future directions for research in the field.

Women entrepreneurs continue to be the torchbearers of society and nations in their pursuit of economic growth and social development through employment creation, innovation and poverty reduction. Nonetheless, financial literacy is an intangible resource that is required for growth, success, and long-term competitive advantage. However, a notable hindrance to the progress of women entrepreneurs is the absence of adequate financial literacy. The objective of this research was to ascertain the importance of financial literacy concerning the achievement of women entrepreneurs. In order to achieve the research objectives, a qualitative investigation was conducted, wherein interview data was gathered according to the OECD core competencies framework on financial literacy for entrepreneurs from a sample of twenty-three women entrepreneurs. The participants were selected based on the criteria of having a business that has been operational for at least five years. The results indicate that financial literacy considering the three dimensions assessed: financial knowledge, skills and attitude significantly influences the efficacy of women entrepreneurship. Consequently, it is recommended that women entrepreneurs engage in group-based and targeted training programmes to acquire the necessary skills to enhance their financial literacy.

However, the existing research is limited given that there are still gaps in the understanding of women's entrepreneurship perspectives and theories that been applied in the field. This paper aimed to visualize selected women entrepreneurship studies published internationally indexed using bibliometric and content analysis through the VOS viewer application. The research data of 96 documents published from 2012 to 2021 were obtained from the Scopus database. As a result, gender theory, feminist theory and institutional theory are the main theories that have been applied to describe women's entrepreneurship in this study.
