However, one essential factor tends to be left behindthe contribution of incubation centers to enabling these women to succeed. This research examines the academic landscape in closer detail through a bibliometric analysis of 2,012 peer-reviewed articles between 2005 and mid-2025 based on the Scopus database. Using tools such as Biblioshiny and VOSviewer, we delve into how the discourse on financial capability, women entrepreneurship, and economic empowerment has progressed throughout time. The research indicates a meteoric increase in interest following 2020, fueled primarily by vulnerabilities uncovered with the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite expansion, however, something is certain: there remains relatively little research linking incubation assistance to rural women directly or financial literacy programs. Our analyses of keywords and co-authorships indicate a splintered discipline with ample space for richer, more holistic research. This article not only charts what is known but also reveals what is lacking, presenting new directions for researchers and policymakers dedicated to building stronger safety nets for rural women entrepreneurs.
