research. This aim is achieved by performing a Bibliometric citation analysis and

Income Generation and Barriers in rural entrepreneurship. From these themes 16
sub-themes have emerged during the review. Many gaps are identifed in each category and avenues for further advancement of rural entrepreneurship is discussed.
