Why Entrepreneurship
HIGH-IMPACT ENTREPRENEURS
THE CATALYSTS OF SUSTAINED ECONOMIC GROWTH
JOB CREATION
Over one-quarter of the world's countries have unemployment rates of %15 or higher.
The populations most at-risk in employment crises are those that face a higher
likelihood of vulnerable employment in the first place namely women, the young, and,
in some regions, the ethnically oppressed. High-Impact Entrepreneurs who develop
and lead companies with higher job creation and wealth generation than their peers
offer some of the most exciting potential to reduce poverty in the world. High-impact
enterprises can generate 100 times more jobs than a microenterprise in the same
period of time.
