This current programme of work is also developin an online inclusive entrepreneurship policy tool.
The objective of the country policy assessment notes is to provide country-level analysis to the European Commission and OECD on key outstanding challenges for inclusive entrepreneuship policy within each EU Member State and potential Member State actions that could be develop to address these challenges by presenting a) problems faced by disadvantaged entrepreneurs; b) existing policies addressing the problem; and c) the gaps and weakness in the policies. The notes will, in a structured manner, present data on entrepreneurship activity and self-employment rates and the barriers experienced manner, present data on entrepreneurship activity ans self-employment rates and the barriers experienced by people in key social target groups (the unemployed, youth, women, seniors, and immigrants), assess the appropriateness and quality of existing policy actions in this field relative to the scale and nature of needs, review the appropriateness of future policy plans and develop country-specific policy advice for addressing policy gaps and improving policy design.
The focus of the country notes will vary from year to year. The first set of notes presented an assessment of inclusive entrepreneurship policies and programmes and the second set will provide an analysis of the structure of self-employment in each country. The notes will describe and explain the differences in the structure of self-employment across the different target groups of inclusive entrepreneurship policies (e.g. woment, youth, seniors).
