This study examines the factors influencing women's micro-enterprise involvement in Malaysia. Despite a global increase in women's entrepreneurial activity, Malaysia has experienced a decline in female participation in micro-enterprises. Promoting women's micro-enterprises involvement would help increase adequate women's well-being and the growth of Malaysia's economy. With a motivation to understand the dynamic of micro-enterprises and the unique challenges faced by women in micro-enterprises, the study adopted a quantitative approach through surveys with 383 respondents (91.2% response rate) who successfully participated. The data analysis employed several statistical tools, including descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, normality, reliability, and correlation analysis using IBM SPSS. The results reveal a significant relationship between women's micro-enterprise involvement in Malaysia and factors such as motivation, family support, entrepreneurial skills, business networks, and access to loans and financing. These findings underscore the positive impact of the discussed factors on women's micro-enterprise involvement. Through regression analysis, this study further validates the hypotheses presented. Identifying these influential factors provides valuable insights for policymakers, organizations, and stakeholders to promote and support women's micro-enterprise involvement in Malaysia. By empowering women in the micro-enterprise sector, the nation can enhance women's well-being and foster economic growth.
