The investigation reveals a significant surge in domestic responsibilities for entrepreneurs during the pandemic.

To address the difficulties presented by the pandemic, these women have adopted a range of tactics, including implementation of hygiene protocols and cost-cutting measures, while also embracing digital technology solutions to a greater extent. This study, conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, is unique because it focuses on female entrepreneurs’ entrepreneurial motivation.
