“…Policymaking is not necessarily a functional process of formulating solutions for meeting domestic needs but a result of policy learning (Dolowitz & Marsh, 2000;Jarvis & He, 2020;Hall, 1993). Ebbs and flows of the trends of economic policies, be it the Keynesian welfare state, state-centered developmentalism, or neoliberalism, can be contingent on the policy actors (Hu et al, 2020).…”

Current studies tend to theorize the relationship between the social economy (SE) and social policy based on the experiences of Western welfare states, missing the evolution of social economy organizations (SEOs) in later developing, transitional welfare states. This article fills this gap by examining self-sufficiency organizations in South Korea, which originated from urban SEOs but became agents for microbusiness start-ups under the newly introduced universalistic public assistance scheme. To explain this evolutionary trajectory, this article applies a concept of "compressed development," where different stages of development coexist. The compressed industrialization created large informal sectors and rudimentary community movements in urban slums. The compressed universalization of public assistance promoted urban community movements as agents of the workfare through microbusiness start-ups outside the regular labor market. This article argues that the speed and timing of industrialization and welfare development need to be considered in studies of the SE in a transitional welfare-mix.

“…The fact that a poor country like Haiti is highly deficient in terms of public institutional capital, human capital, infrastructure and business capital (Mombeuil, 2020), remains a serious challenge for institutional reforms, control of corruption and entrepreneurship development. Thus, overcoming the obstacles to diaspora entrepreneurship necessitates large-scale reforms that are capable of breaking the current institutional arrangements and injecting new political bargains that facilitate social and economic demands (Jarvis and He, 2020). Challenges such as corruption and current institutional arrangements of Haiti also necessitate genuine coalitions among diaspora organization networks, NGOs and institutional entrepreneurs that can force institutional changes, curb corruption and market reform.…”

PurposeWhile diaspora entrepreneurs remain important sources of capital and innovation, many developing countries are facing serious challenges to tap into these sources because of their weak institutional settings and the endemic and systemic corruption. To this end, this study explores how institutional reforms and control of corruption can influence diaspora entrepreneurship. This study also seeks to provide perspectives on how diaspora entrepreneurs can influence institutional reforms and market policies.Design/methodology/approachTo meet these objectives, qualitative and interpretive research approaches were employed.FindingsUsing responses collected from Haitian diaspora entrepreneurs living in the USA, this paper highlights different attributes of institutional reforms and control of corruption that can influence diaspora entrepreneurship.Practical implicationsBased on these insights, this paper argues that Haitian diaspora entrepreneurs need to play a proactive role as policy entrepreneurs by supporting competent and well-intention political leaders to gain office and by joining forces with local actors to advocate for institutional reforms, market reforms and control of corruption in order to be able to exploit market opportunities. In this respect, further perspectives for diaspora entrepreneurship, limitations and consideration for future research are highlighted.Originality/valueBy collecting insights on institutional reform and diaspora entrepreneurship from diaspora entrepreneurs, this paper makes important contribution to the entrepreneurship literature.

“…O empreendedorismo tem sido associado, na literatura sobre o assunto, a retornos socialmente desejáveis para a economia, em razão da sua influência sobre o emprego, a renda e os elementos relacionados a mudanças estruturais de produção (Aviram et al, 2019;Lundström & Stevenson, 2006). Isso pode ser observado na introdução da temática nas agendas de políticas públicas e na adoção de práticas voltadas ao avanço do empreendedorismo em vários países do mundo (Audretsch et al, 2007), sobretudo nos desenvolvidos, chamados de "primeiro mundo" (Jarvis & He, 2020).…”

Objective: identifying the possible relationships between socioeconomic variables and the manifestation of the Individual Micro-Entrepreneur (IME). Methodology/approach: from the survey of characteristics of the IME, in databases in the Brazilian scope, under a quantitative approach, multiple regression analysis was applied, including social and economic variables of municipalities in Minas Gerais. Main results: there are significant effects of the variables education, income, and basic sanitation on the proportion of IME at the municipal level. Their values show that better socioeconomic conditions are inversely related to the IME. Theoretical/methodological contributions: this study contributes to the discussion on entrepreneurship policies and the types of businesses to be promoted by governments. It identifies its explanatory variables in developing countries. Relevance/originality: this study (a) strengthens the scientific construction based on the results of the institution of the legal framework of the IME in Brazil; and (b) it delves into issues related to the effect of socioeconomic variables on IME, covering entrepreneurship “for survival” and as a “lifestyle” – themes that are still little explored by the academic literature, especially when it involves developing countries. Social/management contributions: in practical terms, to present the social and economic realities of entrepreneurs benefiting from the IME legal apparatus provides grounds for reflecting and analyzing the expected effects of this public policy.
