Motivations Driving Self-Employment Among Women in Karachi

Abstract

    The self-employment of women in Karachi is notable, showing their ability to deal with social norms and financial difficulties. Many women seek jobs for themselves, often working in unregulated markets. They use education, family support, and government programs to help them succeed. Government rules and protections are important in creating a supportive setting for women’s self-employment and business ventures. To help women’s economic power and equality, various kinds of support are needed, covering financial, social, and legal areas.
