ABSTRACT Although entrepreneurship training may improve labour market outcomes of individuals, little is known about the impact of entrepreneurship training on self-employment in Uganda. In this study, a survey of 300 rural women in Uganda is undertaken before and four months after participating in an entrepreneurship training programme to examine the impact of entrepreneurship training on self-employment. Business knowledge and business competence indices are used as measures of training effectiveness, and a self-employment probit regression model is utilized to examine the impact of training on self-employment. The main findings of this study suggest that an increase in the business knowledge index and the business competence index by one unit can lead to 6 per cent and 2.7 per cent increase in the probability of being self-employed. These findings are important for the design and implementation of appropriate policy and programmes to improve the labour market outcomes of women in rural Uganda.

乌干达创业培训对农村女企业家自谋职业的影响

摘要尽管创业培训可以改善个人的劳动力市场成果，但对于乌干达创业培训对自营职业的影响知之甚少。在这项研究中，在参加创业培训计划之前和之后的四个月，对乌干达300名农村妇女进行了调查，以研究创业培训对自营职业的影响。将业务知识和业务能力指数用作培训效果的度量，并使用自雇概率回归模型来检验培训对自雇的影响。这项研究的主要发现表明，将业务知识指数和业务能力指数提高一个单位可导致个体经营的可能性增加6％和2.7％。
