Future of Emerging Markets - Keynote Speaker

Future of Emerging Markets - Keynote Speaker
It is easy for governments in emerging nations to focus policy on helping or attracting big business, but small family-owned businesses are usually the greatest creator of new jobs, partly because there are so many of them. If a million businesses with an average of 10 employees, each manage to employ an average of just one extra person each, that’s a million new jobs. But most of these businesses will have started out informally and very small. Lessons from informal street-traders in India and Vietnam.
