In developed countries such as Pakistan, the issues of work life balance in male and female entrepreneurs are significantly evident. These issues have given rise to increasing concerns about the work life balance challenges faced by the female entrepreneurs who have to manage their personal and professional life at the same time (Noor, 2004). Despite the growing opportunities for the female entrepreneurs in Pakistan, the issues and challenges for women entrepreneurs still exists in the form of lack of family support and funding limitations (Jamali, 2006). When it come to a developing country like Pakistan, problems for the women entrepreneurs are significant and there is lack of motivation in the form off a role model which is another factor that affect the adoption of entrepreneurship among women in Pakistan (Mangi, 2015). The purpose of current research study is to investigate the work life balance issues faced by the female entrepreneurs in Pakistan. In this regard, the work life balance practices of the women entrepreneurs in Pakistan will be explored and the conflicts that women entrepreneurs face while managing their personal and professional roles will be investigated.
