This study explores how entrepreneurship helps create jobs and supports economic growth. It looks at the role of small and medium businesses in generating both direct and indirect employment, especially through factors such as access to finance, business training, market demand, and the background of the entrepreneur. The research was carried out using a quantitative approach with 56 entrepreneurs as respondents. The findings show that many entrepreneurs depend mainly on personal savings or help from family and friends to start their businesses, while formal government support is used less often. The study also found that business growth often leads to new job opportunities, including permanent, seasonal, and part-time roles. Training and previous experience were seen as important in improving business management and increasing the chances of employment generation. However, challenges such as lack of funding, limited resources, and business risks still affect long-term job creation. Overall, the study concludes that entrepreneurship has strong potential to reduce unemployment, but it needs proper support through training, finance, and infrastructure.
KEYWORDS
In conclusion, the development of entrepreneurship functions as an excellent catalyst for employment, turning job seekers into dependable employers through a perpetual chain of recruitment processes. Whereas urban digital businesses employ semi-skilled manpower while rural programs modernize agricultural manpower, the sustainability of such jobs is strongly dependent on organized training within the institutions. Nonetheless, to tap into such opportunities of employment and cater for vulnerable populations, there is need for government action beyond provision of basic training, especially in addressing the problems of lack of seed funding and poor infrastructure.
