Micro and small enterprises (MSEs) have been recognised as a major
contemporary source of employment and income in a growing number of
developing countries. Yet, relatively little is known about the
characteristics and patterns of change in these enterprises. This
volume examines the dynamics of MSEs in the development process.
Drawing on a set of surveys conducted in 12 countries in Africa and
Latin America the authors map the patterns of change in MSEs in the
developing world. Subjects covered include: significance of new
start and closure rates of MSEs; factors involved in expansion
rates and growth patterns of MSEs; and the role of gender in MSEs
revolution. The text also develops a four-fold characterization of
MSEs, from which follows a reflection in the problems faced by and
the diverse needs of MSEs. The authors conclude by drawing
important lessons for donors and implementing agencies, based on
the need to tailor policy to the varying contributions to
development and needs of different MSEs. In its presentation of
real-life examples and its suggestions for improving development
assistance efforts, this volume should be welcome by students and
researchers in development eco
