Until recently, development economists tended to assume a role for
private enterprises in reducing poverty, without articulating it
explicitly. How private firms contribute to economic mobility and
poverty reduction and what governments can do to enhance their
contribution is the theme of this book. In developing countries,
private enterprise is far and away the largest source of employment
and investment and a significant source of government revenue. In
addition to these tangible contributions, private enterprise is an
important source of less tangible, but critically important,
factors such as openness to ideas, innovation, and opportunity. The
book presents new evidence, which demonstrates the essential role
which private firms are playing in the course of economic
development. Throughout, the focus is on economic mobility.
Regional case studies ranging from the Far East to Sub-Saharan
Africa hone in on the role of entrepreneurship in development.
Drawing on the rich materials of the World Bank's Worldwide
Business Environment Survey, key policy factors are identified.
Special attention is paid to obstacles facing small and
medium-sized enterprises. The concluding chapters focus on
practical ways in which governments of developing and transition
countries can encourage the capacity of poor people to move up the
economic ladder.
