Abstract
This research article presents critique on the extant literature
and provides material for ongoing debate on women
entrepreneurship (WE) in Pakistan. Study seeks to motivate
academia and professional community to enhance
understanding on the subject of WEs in Pakistan with the belief
that WE can ensure women empowerment and reduce their
socioeconomic inequality. Research published in context of WEs
in Pakistan is very limited, however, study identified that most
of the women entrepreneurs are engaged at micro-level or small
and medium enterprise with larger focus on service sector. The
literature review has also identified a number of social, cultural
and economic challenges that WEs face and attention of
decision makers and academic community has been drawn for
their part to play. Implications for policy-making and research
are discussed in the last section
