'Mom-and-pop shops in Africa'
by Thomas Pave Sohnesen
Summary:
Mom-and-pops shops are the smallest of enterprises. This is self-employment in
non-incorporated enterprises in the non-farm sector, with the vast majority of
them employing only one person.
Currently, they provide jobs for most people outside of agriculture: 21 per cent
of the SSA labor force in 2010, while the wage sector (public and private)
provided jobs for 15 per cent.
This is the most common type of employment outside of agriculture in SSA and
will for the foreseeable future continue to generate more jobs than the wage
sector.
Some governments have policies and programs for Household Enterprises, far most
do not. The sector is more difficult to address than traditional industries, as
it is more diverse and difficult to reach.
