This research paper looks to find out the problems and issues faced by women entrepreneurs in the city of Lahore, Pakistan. Women are developing themselves and are an important part of the economy despite the lack of attention given to them in this part of the world. Apart from gaining an insight to the issues these entrepreneurial women have to face, the objectives also include researching into the problems they have in generating the finances and understanding the social reasons which force them to work. Gender specific issues are also to be discussed in this report. To fulfil the objectives a thorough primary research was carried out where a questionnaire (sample attached) was developed with exact questions reflecting the research purpose. The sample size was then further divided into literate and illiterate women entrepreneurs for the precision of the results. The results have shown that both literate and illiterate women entrepreneurs have problems all the way up from starting their business to keep running it successfully. However the literate women are slightly better off than the illiterate women as they have a greater exposure to this world due to their family backgrounds and education which helps them compete effectively and with courage. The literate women tend to open up their own business with a pursuit of happiness which automatically makes them more motivated to work whereas the illiterate women mostly end up working and opening their business to fulfil their basic necessities in life. The culture in this part of the world hasn’t seen a woman working in the past, thus making it difficult for them working in the 21st century. This mentality is however changing with time as women grow in different sectors of the economy with expertise and making it clear that they are here to work and stay.
