Abstract
Fostering entrepreneurship is widely
perceived to be a critical policy agenda to expand
employment and earning opportunities and to reduce poverty.
Sound macroeconomic conditions and business environment
including infrastructure, regulation, and legal environment
have typically been emphasized to increase entrepreneurial
activities and create jobs. While these remain relevant, in
developing countries, increasing attention is being paid to
the role of labor policies that aim to reduce constraints
and enhance productivity among the self-employed and
small-scale entrepreneurs. The next section describes the
procedure for constructing data and discusses main features
of the entrepreneurship programs in our sample studies.
Section three presents a standardization and estimation
strategy using Meta regressions and discusses methodology.
Section four then discusses the main findings of the Meta
analysis. Finally, Section five concludes the study.
