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.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO BANK ACCOUNTACCESS TO CREDITACCESS TO FINANCEACCESS TO LOANSACCESS TO SAVINGACCESS TO SAVINGSACCOUNTINGACTIVE LABOR MARKET PROGRAMSACTIVE LABOUR MARKETACTUARIESADVISORY SERVICESASSISTANCE TO BUSINESSBANK ACCOUNTBANKSBASIC SKILLSBEHAVIORAL SCIENCESBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBORROWINGBUSINESS ACTIVITIESBUSINESS CONFIDENCEBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS INCUBATIONBUSINESS LOANSBUSINESS MANAGEMENTBUSINESS NETWORKSBUSINESS OPERATIONBUSINESS OWNERSBUSINESS PLANBUSINESS SCHOOLBUSINESS SURVIVALBUSINESS TRAININGCAPITAL STOCKCASH TRANSFERCOGNITIVE SKILLSCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCONSUMERCONSUMER LOANSCONTRIBUTIONCONTROL GROUPSCREDIT ACCESSCREDIT CONSTRAINTSCREDIT SCORINGCULTURAL FACTORSCULTURAL NORMCUSTOMER RELATIONSDATA COLLECTIONDEBTDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPMENT ECONOMICSDISCOUNT RATEDISCRIMINATIONDIVERSIFICATIONDRIVERSEARNINGSECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMICSELECTRICIANSEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSEMPLOYMENT STATUSEMPOWERMENTENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITIESENTREPRENEURIAL ACTIVITYENTREPRENEURIAL BEHAVIORENTREPRENEURSHIP TRAININGEQUIPMENT LOANEXPENDITUREEXPERIMENTAL DESIGNFAMILIESFARMERSFEMALE ENTERPRISEFEMALE ENTERPRISESFEMALE ENTREPRENEURSFEMALE ENTREPRENEURSHIPFEMALE WORKERSFINANCIAL BEHAVIORFINANCIAL CAPITALFINANCIAL LITERACYFINANCIAL LITERACY TRAININGFINANCIAL MANAGEMENTFINANCIAL MARKETFINANCIAL PRODUCTSFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL SKILLSFINANCIAL STUDIESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFINANCIAL TRAININGGENDERGENDER DISPARITYGENDER ROLESGENERAL POPULATIONGIRLSGROUP LENDINGGUARANTORSHEALTH INSURANCEHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLDSIDIMPACT EVALUATIONIMPACT EVALUATION DESIGNINCOMEINCOME GROUPSINCOME LEVELSINCOMESINNOVATIONINSURANCEINSURANCE SCHEMEINTERVENTIONSINVENTORYJOB CREATIONJOB SEARCHJOB TRAININGKNOWLEDGE GAPLABOR ECONOMICSLABOR INCOMELABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLABOR POLICIESLABOR RELATIONSLABOURLABOUR MARKET POLICYLARGE FIRMLEARNINGLIABILITYLIFE SKILLSLOANLOAN REPAYMENTLOW INCOMELOW-INCOMEMARKET ANALYSISMARKETINGMFIMFISMICRO ENTERPRISEMICRO ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENTMICRO-CREDITMICRO-ENTREPRENEURSMICROCREDITMICROFINANCEMORTALITYMOTIVATIONNEW BUSINESSOCCUPATIONSOUTCOME INDICATORSPERSONALITYPOLICY ENVIRONMENTPOLITICAL ECONOMYPROBABILITYPRODUCTIVITYPROGRAM EFFECTIVENESSPROGRAM IMPACTSPROVISION OF INFORMATIONRECORD KEEPINGREGRESSION ANALYSISREPAYMENTRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRISKY BEHAVIORRURAL AREASSALARYSALESSAVING BEHAVIORSAVINGSSAVINGS ACCOUNTSSCHOOL FINANCESELF EMPLOYEDSELF EMPLOYMENTSELF HELPSELF-EMPLOYMENTSERVICE PROVIDERSSKILLS TRAININGSMALL BUSINESSSMALL BUSINESSESSMALL ENTERPRISESSMALL-SCALE ENTREPRENEURSSMART MONEYSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL SERVICESSTART-UPSTOCKSTARGETINGTEACHINGTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL SKILLSTRAINING FOR ENTREPRENEURSTRAINING PROGRAMTRAINING PROGRAMSUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNIONURBAN AREASURBAN POPULATIONVALUABLEVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONVOCATIONAL TRAININGWAGEWAGE GAPWAGE GAPSWAGE SUBSIDIESWELL-BEINGWORTHYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/13568
