Most work in agriculture as fruit vendors or farmers, for instance. Many westerners see this as evidence of a natural entrepreneurial spirit, but Banerjee and Duflo disagree. They\u2019ve found that <strong>the poor generally run businesses only because they have no other options: The job market has failed them<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their research, Duflo and Banerjee noticed that the businesses of the poor are typically small and unprofitable, even though they have a high marginal return. This means that it would take little money to grow their businesses. Despite the high marginal returns, the poor generally choose <em>not<\/em> to invest in their businesses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the authors see it, this seems to be because the poor don\u2019t want to run a business\u2014they don\u2019t want to be entrepreneurs. Instead, in all the countries Duflo and Banerjee examined, the poor almost universally aspire for their children to get the only kind of stable job they know of: a government job. The small businesses they run are just a means of getting by until that happens.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, instead of celebrating the supposed entrepreneurial spirit of the world\u2019s poor, development economists need to figure out better ways to get the poor stable jobs, assert Duflo and Banerjee.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Poverty and Entrepreneurship:<\/strong> <strong>The Labor Market in the Developing World<\/strong><br><br>Analysis of the labor market in the developing world confirms that a lack of stable jobs is the predominant reason for the high rates of entrepreneurship among the poor. Studies have found that between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1080\/13504851.2012.727968\">one half<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1057\/ejdr.2014.25\">two-thirds of self-employment in the developing world is due to having no other options<\/a>.&nbsp;<br><br>The reasons for this are complex, but one consistent factor is that wage employment in the developing world largely consists of <em>informal<\/em> jobs. These jobs entail no contractual agreement between a worker and employer and tend to have low, inconsistent wages. Moreover, most of these jobs in developing countries are in subsistence agriculture\u2014an inherently unstable and low-paying sector. In the face of this instability, the poor simply work for themselves in order to make <em>something<\/em> when they otherwise couldn\u2019t.&nbsp;<br><br>There\u2019s some indication that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilo.org\/wcmsp5\/groups\/public\/@dgreports\/@dcomm\/@publ\/documents\/publication\/wcms_192887.pdf\">the job market doesn\u2019t improve significantly as economies grow<\/a>. Instead, in places such as South Asia and Africa, informal rural farming jobs often give way to informal urban jobs\u2014as street vendors or casual construction laborers, for instance.&nbsp;<br>Increasing formal employment opportunities is <a href=\"https:\/\/elibrary.worldbank.org\/doi\/10.1596\/978-1-4648-1328-3_ch5\">an important task of development economists<\/a>. Two strategies that have shown promise are:&nbsp;<br><br><strong>1)<\/strong> <strong>Improving roads and other infrastructure.<\/strong> Such improvements can make it easier for companies to establish factories in poor towns and cities\u2014these are among the most stable kinds of formal jobs.&nbsp;<br><br><strong>2)<\/strong> <strong>Streamlining business regulations. <\/strong>When governments make it easier for businesses to register and open, more formal employment opportunities result.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How does poverty affect entrepreneurship?
