Entrepreneurship in the Philippines 2014 Report Launch
August 19, 2016
Roof Deck, Henry Sy Sr., Hall, De La Salle University
Executive Summary
The Philippine sample from 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor comprised2,000 individuals, aged 18–64, representing 17 regions in the country, and 36 national experts. Respondents were interviewed according to a framework that considered both the individual and institutional conditions of entrepreneurship.
For this year’s Report, we consider more closely the prospects of micro and youth entrepreneurship in alleviating poverty and unemployment within the country. In the last few years, research particularly by Banerjee and Duflo at MIT’s Poverty Action Lab has suggested that some of the optimism about entrepreneurship as a bridge out of poverty in developing countries has been misplaced, and that entrepreneurial success is harder to come by than frequently believed. We find broad support for these ideas from the 2014 Philippine survey, and use this as an opportunity to rethink entrepreneurship strategy and policies in the country.
