- W2976146161 abstract "Non-agricultural self-employment is projected to account for 38 percent of all new jobs generated in Sub-Saharan Africa between 2010 and 2020. This fact underscores the immediate and future importance of the self-employment sector. In this article, we present the relationship between the operation of non-farming household enterprises (NFHE) and welfare. We distinguish between ‘necessity entrepreneurs’ and ‘opportunity entrepreneurs’ to shed light on the heterogeneity within a group of self-employed households. The results confirm that the group of self-employed are indeed heterogeneous, because ‘necessity entrepreneurs’ have significantly lower welfare than households without an NFHE, whereas ‘opportunity entrepreneurs’ have significantly higher welfare than households without an NFHE. Aggregating the observations to the district level, a district fixed-effect model shows that increasing the share of ‘opportunity entrepreneurs’ in the district is associated with significant increases in welfare. The results of the Blinder-Oaxaca decompositions suggest that a significant fraction of the difference in welfare between ‘opportunity entrepreneurs’ and other household types is explained by differences in education endowments and return to education. Further, we notice that the gap between ‘opportunity entrepreneurs’ and other household types narrows between the two survey rounds applied in this article." @default.
