Community Empowerment Before And After The Covid-19 Pandemic

Abstract

This article exploits entrepreneurial research on community empowerment before and after the covid 19 pandemic. The purpose of this research is to provide a view to business actors in Indonesia, that the covid 19 pandemic is not an obstacle to continue to progress and develop. A review of 35 existing articles shows that entrepreneurship before the COVID-19 pandemic has grown by 5% per year. This development is in line with the increasing economy in Indonesia in the MSME sector. However, this development experienced a significant decline due to the covid 19 pandemic. This decline spurred people to be more productive in looking for business opportunities. An overview of several studies during 2014 to 2021 can answer how entrepreneurs can survive during the COVID-19 pandemic.
