Abstract
The growing pace of female entrepreneurs is steadily accelerating across the world. Female entrepreneurs lag far
behind their male counterparts, and this difference can be explained by different political, cultural and social factors.
Literature concurs that a supportive entrepreneurial environment is necessary for growth of entrepreneurship for both
males and females. Aim behind conducting this research is to inspect whether any relationship exists between
participation of females in labour market and female entrepreneurial environment of a country or otherwise.
Furthermore, it is proposed that this relationship is mediated by political empowerment of women and moderated by
cultural and social norms. To test the proposed framework, data regarding variables involved in the study was
obtained from different sources of Year 2015. Regression analysis was performed on the data, and the results proved
the model proposed in the study. This model shows that female labour force participation, women political
empowerment and cultural and social norms collaborate with one another to shape the national environment
conducive for female entrepreneurship.
