Quick Overview

The central theme of debate on poverty is the ways and means to overcome it, based on income opportunities. While a discussion on small enterprises and their role in the economy needs to be based on the structure and trends in the labour market and the respective coping systems, poverty, as a real- world problem, speaks of the distribution of resources and capabilities. Therefore, an agenda of reduction of poverty needs to be grounded on enhancing the access to such resources and capabilities. Entrepreneurship has a critical role to play in this regard.
