The World Bank Group Entrepreneurship Snapshots (WBGES), now in its fourth year, tracks new business registration around the world; data from this survey can be used to study the factors that foster dynamic private sector growth. The measurement of entrepreneurship in 112 developing and high-income economies over 2004-09 offers a distinctive and t imely snapshot of the impact of the 2008 financial crisis on entrepreneurial activity. WBGES 2010 results can help guide effective policy making and deliver new capabilities to identify the impact of reforms. The study reveals wide variation in new business registration. On average, about four new firms register every year for every 1,000 working-age individuals in high-income economies, while there is less than one new firm registered per 1,000 individuals in low and middle-income economies. More dynamic business creation occurs in economies that provide entrepreneurs with a stable legal and regulatory regime, a fast and inexpensive business registration process, more flexible employment regulations, and low corporate taxes. The data also show that during the crisis, nearly all economies experienced a sharp drop in business registration---a drop that was more pronounced in countries with higher levels of economic development and in those more affected by the crisis.

The 2010 World Bank Entrepreneurship Snapshots (WBGES) provide a unique indicator of business creation around the world and facilitate the investigation of the factors that foster dynamic private sector growth. Now in its fourth year, the WBGES measure entrepreneurial activity in 115 developing and industrial countries over the six year period 2004-2009. Importantly, the data offer a distinctive and timely snapshot of the impact of the 2008-2009 financial crisis on entrepreneurial activity. There is wide variation in new business creation across countries: On average, about four new firms register every year for every 1,000 working age individuals in industrialized countries, while there is less than one new firm registered in low and low middle income countries. The data show that dynamic business creation occurs in countries that provide entrepreneurs with good governance, a strong legal and regulatory environment, and reduced red tape. The data also show that nearly all countries experienced a sharp drop in business entry during the crisis. However, industrialized countries experienced the crisis more quickly and more severely than other income groups. In addition, the degree to which the crisis impacted new firm creation is correlated with measures of crisis severity. Finally, we find that countries in which financial markets play a larger role in the domestic economy experienced sharper declines in new business registrations as a result of the crisis that paralyzed financial markets. These results can guide effective policymaking and deliver new capabilities for identifying the impact of reforms.

Whilst there has been an increased interest in minorities and their contribution to society, the literature on minorities and under-represented communities is still weak. This edited volume discusses entrepreneurship in the context of minorities and the role they play in society. The book looks at under-represented communities such as LGBTQ+, disadvantaged, ethnic minority, religious entrepreneurs, medically limited, indigenous, refugees, young/old and other socio-economic segments. It provides a holistic, comprehensive overview of how diversity in entrepreneurship facilitates increased levels of innovation. The book will be amongst the first to take a broad perspective of minority entrepreneurs.
