Women entrepreneurs are an increasingly vital component of the global entrepreneurial landscape, with a profound impact on sustainable development. Despite their growing prominence and unique contributions, the role of women entrepreneurs in sustainability remains underexplored in academic literature. This study addresses this gap through a bibliometric analysis, drawing on scholarly resources from the Scopus database. Utilizing Harzing’s Publish or Perish software and VOSviewer, the research examines document types, publication trends, subject areas, highly cited documents, and key thematic keywords to map academic output on this topic. While the study provides valuable insights, it is constrained by its focus on English-language publications and by limiting the dataset to documents published between 1995 and 2024 in Scopus.

These findings serve as a foundation for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners seeking to support women-led entrepreneurial ventures. Future research should explore the specific entrepreneurial skills women need to enhance their contributions to sustainability, which could further inform policies and sustainable practices within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

摘要

Women entrepreneurs are an increasingly vital component of the global entrepreneurial landscape, with a profound impact on sustainable development. Despite their growing prominence and unique contributions, the role of women entrepreneurs in sustainability remains underexplored in academic literature. This study addresses this gap through a bibliometric analysis, drawing on scholarly resources from the Scopus database. Utilizing Harzing’s Publish or Perish software and VOSviewer, the research examines document types, publication trends, subject areas, highly cited documents, and key thematic keywords to map academic output on this topic. While the study provides valuable insights, it is constrained by its focus on English-language publications and by limiting the dataset to documents published between 1995 and 2024 in Scopus. Nonetheless, the research offers critical implications for advancing the intersection of gender and sustainability, offering fresh perspectives on the role of women entrepreneurs in driving sustainable business practices. These findings serve as a foundation for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners seeking to support women-led entrepreneurial ventures. Future research should explore the specific entrepreneurial skills women need to enhance their contributions to sustainability, which could further inform policies and sustainable practices within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
