Assessing the influence of the business environment on small enterprise employment – An assessment guide - SEED Working Paper No. 71E
Provides guidance on assessing the effect of external influences on employment in small enterprises. Covers three topics of assessment: profiling small enterprises and small enterprise employment; assessing the policy, legal and regulatory framework for small enterprise development; and assessing markets and the business environment for small enterprises.
This guide has been prepared to guide and assist policy makers, researchers, evaluators, programme managers, or anyone else who wants to determine the effects that external influences have on employment in small enterprises. It aims to assist and add value to assessment efforts made by a range of actors in the business environment, public sector agencies, private business organizations, worker organizations, and various kinds of civil society institutions.
