Women constitute 50 percent of the population of Pakistan. Many of them are well educated. Others are pursuing higher education or are interested to do so. In many areas of Pakistan, ladies are not allowed to do jobs even after receiving higher education. As a result, most of them stay at homes either by choice or by force.
In the given situation, there should be a way out to let them play a role in the development of the country while fulfilling their domestic duties at the same time. It is suggestible that women should be encouraged to make use of their education in the field of business and entrepreneurship. It is the century of economic development and no nation can achieve economic stability without active participation from the women.
The idea of female entrepreneurs is yet a new concept in Pakistan but it is a proven fact that female entrepreneurs are working as a backbone for development of the economy of our nation from the past couple of years. The rapidly growing rate of the female entrepreneurs in Pakistan has drawn the attention of both the developing and academic sectors and has helped Pakistan build a positive image in the rest of the world. There are many inspirational female entrepreneurs who have been serving their country in this way while making us proud and nourishing their interests as well. They can opt for paper crafting, home based boutiques, fabric crafts, free lancing and blogging and other such fields of their interest.
