An estimated one billion individuals in both developed and
developing nations can be defined as necessity entrepreneurs;
individuals who have no other viable option for licit income than
to start a small, income generating activity. However, the emphasis
on providing business and leadership training to necessity
entrepreneurs is only just gaining traction. This book provides the
first-known global analysis dedicated exclusively to organizations
from both the public and private sectors that are specifically
involved with microenterprise education for necessity
entrepreneurs. This companion volume to Necessity Entrepreneurs
puts at the forefront the few organizations engaged in training
necessity entrepreneurs - highlighting the efforts currently being
made by policymakers, non-profit founders, and for-profit
institutions individually (and independently) to try and find ways
to educate and empower necessity entrepreneurs. The authors provide
a pragmatic synopsis and evaluate the efficacy of institutions
involved in training entrepreneurs in developing nations all over
the world. Featuring case studies from Harvard, BYU, and the
largest organizations around the globe, this important work will be
a vital read not only for scholars and researchers, but
policymakers and NGO officials. Contributors include: J. Brewer, S.
