Entrepreneurship drives new business and job creation, spurs innovation that boosts living standards and creates opportunities for upward economic mobility. The question is: Does policy support entrepreneurs in this process, or make it harder?
To answer that question, we first need to understand that entrepreneurship is a varied and complex pursuit. To put it another way, starting a business presents different challenges than running a business, than growing a business. To both effectively measure entrepreneurship and target policies where they can have the greatest impact, it is important to differentiate between various aspects of entrepreneurship.
