A phenomenological qualitative research method was employed at the individual, household, and community levels. The results revealed that most female returning migrant workers were married, aged between 26-45 years, and majority of them had graduated from high school. They migrated to South Korea, Taiwan, and Israel, both legally and illegally. They worked in the industrial, agricultural, and service sectors. When female migrants returned to their origins, they worked as agriculture or livestock entrepreneurs, and business operators. There are three steps to becoming an entrepreneur: 1) Opportunity Recognition; 2) Opportunity Exploitation; and 3) Value Creation.Social SciencesArticleSCOPUS10.1163/15691330-123415592-s2.0-8517656325715691330
