“…In the years 2019 and 2020, the number of publications grew. This is explained by the fact that entrepreneurship is a global trend, a driver of economic growth [1,4,39,40,121], and a contributor to job creation and innovation [2]. Thus, the management of MSEs gained importance at the social, governmental, business, and academic levels [6].…”

Most micro and small businesses (MSEs) are limited in organizational structure, financial resources, technology, and management strategies. Due to these limitations, there are many risks involved in this sector. Understanding the aspects that contribute to the risk of mortality among MSEs is important to guide entrepreneurs in the development of strategic actions and to assist governments in the elaboration of policies that support the creation of new ventures. For this, it is important to know the key factors that contribute to the risk of business mortality. Thus, the following research questions emerge: What is the state of the art on the subject of business mortality in MSE? What are the factors that contribute to the risk of mortality in MSE? What is the relationship between the factors that contribute to the risk of mortality in MSE? The objective of this research was to analyze what the risk factors are for MSE mortality and how they are related to each other. From a systematic literature review, the state of the art on the topic of business mortality in MSEs was evidenced and its risk factors were identified. One hundred and six articles, published from January 2000 to February 2021, were analyzed. The results showed 36 mortality risk factors and highlighted the risks associated with innovative processes, business management, and the characteristics of the entrepreneur. This study contributes to a theoretical framework on corporate mortality and provides an agenda for future research, showing gaps to be explored. In terms of managerial implications, we suggest that entrepreneurs prioritize training initiatives, investing in education, that MSEs participate in cooperation networks to establish partnerships between stakeholders, and that they invest in technological tools to make companies more competitive in the market.

Research methods:The study was conducted by means of a panel econometric model. In particular, the study was based on FEM estimation modelling based on 2,477 communes in the years 2010-2021. Main findings:The conducted research confirmed that different factors affect new firms formation in studied sectors. The research proved that budget policy of communes influences new firms formation. Moreover, the study confirmed that individual elements of the local budget policy have a different impact on each economic activity.

“…Nasiri and Hamelin (2018) contends that -individuals confronted with unemployment and limited prospects for wage-employment will resort to self-employment as a feasible option.‖ This is a research expansion of Eabrasu (2021) study, with the condition that individuals choose one of three statusesunemployment, self-employment, or employment. Again, the simple idea of income choice has served as a jumping-off point for a variety of research concentrating on individuals' decisions to become self-employed (Stawska, 2020;Parker, 2018). This theory specifically proposes that rising unemployment leads to increased startup activity because the opportunity cost of starting a business has decreased (Blanchflower & Bryson, 2021;Conroy & Low, 2022;Carpenter & Loveridge, 2020) This impact has been dubbed the -unemployment push,‖ -refugee effect,‖ or -desperation effect.‖ Other schools of thought, however, contend that the jobless have smaller endowments of the human capital and entrepreneurial talent required to establish and run a new enterprise.…”

Both researchers and policymakers have given the relationship between entrepreneurship and unemployment a lot of thought. The changes in the area of unemployment in the country has caused many people to move into owning their businesses. This activity has initiated a relief to the government since its responsibility is to create lucrative jobs to its citizens. This paper seeks to address the paradigm shift in unemployment in Ghana, the role of business ownership. The study explained the determinants of unemployment, and the entrepreneurship drive to unravel unemployment in the country. Using a cross-sectional dataset, the study focused on Ghana’s economic growth as well as the country’s unemployment rate. Using an online survey of 400 respondents and data from the Ghana Statistical Service (GSS) and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor dataset as its key element in addressing the usefulness of the study. The researcher investigated a paradigm shift in unemployment using the SPSS tool (version 23.0) and regression for the data analysis. With a Cronbach Alpha of 0.898 which explains the reliability statistics of the study variables, the research result shows that at a coefficient of 0.73, Business ownership will have an aid to employment rate with a highly significant P-value of 0.000. Recommendation from the study is that Policymakers should investigate and assess the elements that influence entrepreneurship by placing reduction on the interest put on loan offered to young entrepreneurs.
