The study investigated how women entrepreneurs contribute to Nigeria's economic
growth. The study was led by three research aims and hypotheses. The study was conducted
based on Schumpeter's theory of entrepreneurship. Time series data from 2000 to 2022 were
used in the analysis of the study. The test for cointegration was conducted after the Augmented
Dickey-Fuller test to see whether a unit root existed in the variables. To ascertain whether there
is a long-term link between the variables in the model, the Johansen technique was applied.
Ordinary least squares (OLS) linear regression was used to regress the data. According to the
result, womenpreneurship significantly and favorably affects the GDP and literacy rate. It does,
however, have an insignificant but beneficial effect on life expectancy. One of the
recommendations, is that all obstacles to womenpreneurship in the country should be tackled
with seriousness.
