Abstract: The study evaluates the present state of global research on financial inclusion and well-being of female entrepreneurs, including the identifications of key contributors, patterns of collaborations, a thematic map, and the intellectual and social structure that supports this domain. A bibliometric analysis was conducted on a sample of 332 documents pertaining to women entrepreneurship and financial well-being. The analysis was centered on inclusion-exclusion criteria that were established using a specific search technique on the Scopus database, encompassing the time frame from 2010 to 2023. The bibliometrix R and VOSviewer tools were utilized for the research. The findings indicate that the interdisciplinary domain of women’s entrepreneurship and financial well-being has transformed. This research uncovers the conceptual structure, illuminates the intellectual framework, and focuses on the most critical concerns in this sector, namely, how to accomplish sustainable objectives (SDG 8) through integrating female entrepreneurs in the financial ecosystem. This study offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners, promoting a more nuanced understanding of female entrepreneurs’ financial inclusion. This research highlights the significance of multidisciplinary collaboration and the opportunities given to female entrepreneurs in attaining sustainable development goals and promoting financial inclusion.
