Microfinance, Political Factors, and Motivation Can All Help to Enhance Women’s Entrepreneurship and Empowerment to Eliminate Poverty in Sindh Pakistan

Sustainable development of women’s entrepreneurship (WE) and women empowerment (WEMP), and poverty reduction (PR), are significant challenges, particularly in developing countries like Pakistan. Hence the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between women’s entrepreneurship (WE), women empowerment (WEMP), and poverty reduction (PR) through green microfinance (MF), motivation (MOTI), and political factors (PF) in Pakistan’s Sindh Province. Based on the study nature, data were collected from women who were doing their businesses in the Sindh Province of Pakistan. There were 300 questionnaires given in total, with 225 of them returned. A total of 220 questionnaires were included and others were excluded due to incomplete questions. To test the study model and hypothesis, we analyzed data in Smart PLS-V4 with structure equation model techniques to meet the study objectives. The study’s findings reveal a beneficial association between green microfinance and poverty reduction, women’s entrepreneurship, and empowerment. A study also identified political elements that have a good impact on poverty reduction through women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment. Furthermore, when women are driven, it has beneficial impacts on women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment, which helps to decrease poverty. This study suggests that reducing poverty and strengthening women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment are linked to political considerations, motivation, and institutional finance facilities. Furthermore, women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment are key elements to decrease poverty in Pakistan.

Abstract

Sustainable development of women’s entrepreneurship (WE) and women empowerment (WEMP), and poverty reduction (PR), are significant challenges, particularly in developing countries like Pakistan. Hence the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between women’s entrepreneurship (WE), women empowerment (WEMP), and poverty reduction (PR) through green microfinance (MF), motivation (MOTI), and political factors (PF) in Pakistan’s Sindh Province. Based on the study nature, data were collected from women who were doing their businesses in the Sindh Province of Pakistan. There were 300 questionnaires given in total, with 225 of them returned. A total of 220 questionnaires were included and others were excluded due to incomplete questions. To test the study model and hypothesis, we analyzed data in Smart PLS-V4 with structure equation model techniques to meet the study objectives. The study’s findings reveal a beneficial association between green microfinance and poverty reduction, women’s entrepreneurship, and empowerment. A study also identified political elements that have a good impact on poverty reduction through women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment. Furthermore, when women are driven, it has beneficial impacts on women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment, which helps to decrease poverty. This study suggests that reducing poverty and strengthening women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment are linked to political considerations, motivation, and institutional finance facilities. Furthermore, women’s entrepreneurship and empowerment are key elements to decrease poverty in Pakistan.
