Abstract: Abstract This study aims to review and provide a comprehensive analysis of entrepreneurship and sustainable livelihood. It conducts a systematic literature review using the bibliometric analytical technique on research available. Entrepreneurship and sustainable livelihood are interrelated terms and all these impact each other. In the present scenario, sustainability has become very important to survive, and ultimately the social animal’s livelihood needs to be protected from every present and future threat. Now, entrepreneurship can highly influence both by introducing some opportunities for the people, and it not only persuades people but also makes them do something for their desire and surroundings. A proper and deep understanding is necessary in this regard, and a literature-based analysis is adopted to execute this. Further, the main purpose of this type of study is to explore and elaborate on certain important aspects, which will help to know about the problems and solutions from the ground level. To perform the analysis properly, the reputed Scopus database has been chosen, and almost all relevant papers has been exported, and then a bibliometric analysis through VosViewer has been done, and some meaningful findings has been generated. Now it can be simply said that entrepreneurship has become an emerging topic for most of the economics, business and management-based research and livelihood has not flourished yet in the research. Another thing is that the measurement of livelihood is needs to be done properly which was missing in the previous research and to execute this UNDP’s HDI can be taken into reference. Most of the studies related to tourism and its impact on livelihood have not been done yet and further other sectors are also needed to be explored then a viable image regarding sustainable livelihood can be obtain.
