Application of Regression Analysis to Find Association between Women Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Development Goals

The significance of women’s entrepreneurship in SDG attainment has emerged as a critical topic for attaining long-term development. This study aims to experimentally demonstrate the link between Sustainability and women’s entrepreneurship. In this study, we have focused on "Goal 1 (No poverty), Goal 2 (Zero hunger), Goal 3 (Good Health and well-being), Goal 4 (Quality education), Goal 5 (Gender equality), and Goal 6 (Clean water and Sanitation)". Secondary data sources are used to collect data from forty-two countries across the globe. Data on SDG targets is gathered from Cambridge University’s Sustainable Development Report 2021, while data on women’s entrepreneurship is collected from the GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Measure) database. The Pearson correlation and linear regression analyses determine the association between women’s entrepreneurship and specific SDG targets. Women’s entrepreneurship has been found to affect children’s nutrition, pregnancy, and infant mortality rates, unnatural death rates, life expectancy at birth, enrolment in primary education, secondary completion rate, drinking and Sanitation, and life expectancy at age one.
