ABSTRACT

We explore how developed economies can better realize the entrepreneurial potential of the poor by emphasizing the nexus of public policy and community action. It is argued this potential is not reached only because of the endemic nature of poverty, but also due to institutional constraints or voids. The complex nature of poverty and its implications for creating sustainable enterprises are examined. Policy levers and community support elements available to foster entrepreneurship are identified. A holistic framework is proposed to guide these efforts which reflects the needs of the ventures of the poor over stages of development.

发达经济体中的贫困与企业家精神：重新评估政策和社区行动的作用

摘要

我们通过强调公共政策与社区行动的联系，探索发达经济体如何更好地实现穷人的创业潜力。有人认为，这种潜力的实现不仅是因为贫穷的地方性，而且还因为体制上的限制或空白。研究了贫困的复杂性质及其对创建可持续企业的影响。确定了可用于促进企业家精神的政策杠杆和社区支持元素。提出了一个整体框架来指导这些努力，这些努力反映了穷人在发展阶段的创业需要。
