Economic Considerations

Discussions about the role of small enterprise in economic development tend to remain inconclusive partly because of the difficulty of assessing the relative importance of economic and non-economic objectives and partly because of the dearth of factual information on which to base an economic calculus. It is probably true, moreover, that, because of a lack of general agreement as to the economic case for or against small enterprise, non-economic considerations, including some merely romantic attitudes toward smallness and bigness, tend to exert an undue influence on public policies. There may, of course, be no clear-cut economic case. And noneconomic considerations should and will inevitably weigh significantly in policy decisions. If, however, some of the economic questions could be settled by more and better knowledge, these decisions could more accurately reflect the opportunity costs of pursuing non-economic objectives.

Detailed Picture

I Feel at a distinct disadvantage compared with the speakers this morning because the foundations on which to discuss breeding methods, and progress, are more clear-cut in the case of poultry than in larger farm stock. Poultry are fast-breeding—you can get a lot of offspring quickly if you want them—they can be, and to a great extent are, kept in fairly well-controlled conditions of husbandry, feeding, and management; and their performance is simply and accurately recordable. All these points are important—in contrast, for larger animals we lack a very, great deal of the factual information needed for a reasonable stocktaking of our assets, difficulties, and liabilities. However, from what I know of the workings of our Executive Committee's minds, I believe I am expected to be provocative and to leave loose ends for open discussion. I propose therefore to try to outline the scope for breeding methods in improving our livestock and, if possible, to pick out some of the general principles that govern their use and effectiveness. In any case you will recall that some of the questions have been discussed at earlier meetings of this Society, such as the rôle of cross breeding in sheep, specialisation in pigbreeding, and recording systems in cattle. I ask you to allow me to generalize, and to note that the examples I quote are only examples—I make no pretensions at all to give a comprehensive or a detailed picture.

The great aim of this research is to empirically assess small business-critical roles in economic development and poverty reduction in northwest Nigeria. There is a positive relationship between small enterprise and economic growth in the OLS regression analysis. There is also a clear inverse association between poverty incidence, small business and economic growth. The empirical result thus established the connection between small business, economic growth and poverty incidence.

Women In India

The role of women in economic development of a country is well known. But when it comes to economic development of women in a country, particularly India, then the situation becomes grave and serious as women lag far behind men in achieving better standard of living. However, things are changing now as can be seen in the development of entrepreneurship among women in India. With the onset of the new millennium, participation of women as workers, owners and managers respectively in the micro and small enterprise sector has been increasing. This paper examines the growth of women run enterprises as well as employment of women in the small industry sector of India.
