“…Usaha sektor informal merupakan usaha yang sangat fleksibel yang bisa dilakukan masyarakat karena dapat dilakukan oleh siapa saja, mulai dari anak-anak, remaja, dewasa, orang tua, dari pendidikan rendah sampai berpendidikan tinggi, tidak memiliki skill sampai yang memiliki skill. Akan tetapi menurut (Mussurov & Absheibani, 2015), usaha sektor informal lebih diminati oleh usia yang relatif tua terutama di kondisi krisis, begitupun dengan masyarakat yang telah berkeluarga dan memiliki anak lebih memilih bekerja di sektor informal (Soebyakto & Armansyah, 2016;Armansyah & Mirna, 2018;Taufik, dkk., 2019;Armansyah & Taufik, 2020). Kondisi pandemi covid-19 seperti saat ini, sangat penting adanya kemampuan masyarakat dalam menciptakan inovasi baru dalam menjalankan usaha di sektor informal.…”

Analisis data yang digunakan yaitu data reduction, data display dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian yang diperoleh Sektor informal online merupakan jalan yang harus ditempuh, untuk tetap melaksanakan usaha dan memenuhi kebutuhan keluarga, sehingga dapat dikatakan sektor informal di masa pandemi covid-19 lebih eksis dibandingkan dengan sektor informal offline. Penjualan secara offline tetap dilakukan sebagian masyarakat karena adanya keterbatasan dalam penggunaan teknologi, selain itu banyak masyarakat melakukan penjualan secara online dan tidak offline, akan tetapi tidak jarang masyarakat juga melakukan usaha secara offline dan online. Sistem penjuan offline dan online yang dilakukan secara bersamaan agar kegiatan masyarakat sektor informal tetap berjalan sebagai mana mestinya. Mau tidak mau, suka atau tidak suka masyarakat harus mampu menjalankan usaha secara offline dan online ditengan pandemi dan juga kemajuan teknologi.

“…We control for a number of factors that are commonly used in studying the determinants of entrepreneurship including age, age squared, weight, education, marital status, health status, number of children, size of social network (number of community organizations in which respondent has actively participated) and country dummies to capture country fixed effects (Grilo & Thurik, 2005;Habibov, Afandi, & Cheung, 2017a;Habibov, Cheung, & Auchynnikava, 2017b;Mussurov & Arabsheibani, 2015;Parker, 2009). The descriptive statistics and definitions for all variables, along with the source of data, are presented in Table 1.…”

Does the height to entrepreneurship nexus have two stages? New evidence from 27 nations

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We examine the association between height and entrepreneurship in 27 nations, finding that the relationship between height and entrepreneurship can be considered to be a two-stage process. During the first stage, individuals make the decision of whether or not to try to set up their own business. At this stage, the effect of height is stronger: each 10-cm increase in height is associated with an approximately 1.4 percentage point increase in the probability of having tried to set up a business. During the second stage, after a positive decision to embark upon entrepreneurship has already been taken, people may find success in setting up their business. At this stage, although taller individuals are still more likely to experience success than their shorter counterparts, the effect of height becomes much weaker. Each 10-cm increase in height is associated with an approximately 0.4 percentage point increase in the probability of having tried to set up a business without success, and an approximately 0.4 percentage point increase in the likelihood of having set up a business in which the respondent is no longer involved, or that is no longer operational. Finally, each 10-cm increase in height is associated with an approximately 1 percentage point increase in the probability of remaining an entrepreneur. At the same time, we found that the effect of height is stronger in magnitude than the effects of gender, health and university education. This finding is remarkable insofar as gender, health and university education are usually considered to be the main determinants of entrepreneurship.

“…In the context of Kazakhstan, there was rather low interest in the issue of online employment (Kalyuzhnova & Kambhampati, 2007;Khamzin et al, 2016;Buribayev & Khamzina, 2019;Sadik-Zada, 2021). However, some authors discussed the possible pros and cons of the online format of work, relying on empirical material and guided mainly by theoretical conclusions (Mussurov & Arabsheibani, 2015;Baitenizov et al, 2018;Spankulova et al, 2020). In the present situation, with the multiply increased prac-tice of online labor, a unique opportunity arose to study the real experience gained, evaluate it through the prism of the characteristics and capabilities of modern labor resources (including the use of elements of the theory of generations), as well as from the point of view of the emerging market of new trends (Mukhamadiyeva et al, 2017;Karatayev et al, 2016;Jussibaliyeva et al, 2019;Karatayev & Hall, 2020).…”

The study was carried out based on a survey among 115 Kazakhstani employees and 49 employers to understand attitudes to online employability during the coronavirus crisis and related problems to such format of work. Employees were presented by 32% of Generation Y (born between 1985 and 2002), 44% of Generation X (born between 1964 and 1984), 13% of Baby Boomers (born between 1944 and 1963), and 11% of Silent Generation (born before 1943). As for employers, they were presented by 28% of Generation Y, 51% of Generation X, 16% of Baby Boomers, and 5% of Silent Generation. The result reveals that the format of work has been 46% full-time online, 49% part-time online, 5% mix of full and part-time format. The same pattern was observed among employers with 60% confirming the use of remote online work of staff within the framework of self-isolation, although 31% switched to the part-time online format of work and 9% used a mix of full and part-time. At the same time, only about 7% of the workers and 11% of employers previously had such a practice, and for the majority, such work became an absolutely new experience. Most of 85% of Generation Y and 76% of Generation X have the sufficiency of digital skills and ability to work online, while 42% of Baby Boomers and 67% of Silent Generation experienced difficulties. In terms of problems, both employees and employers prioritize organization policies, communication, and law relationship.
