摘要:Increasing efficiency and creating new employment via micro-enterprises emerges as a viable solution to four problems in developing countries - unemployment, migration from rural to urban areas, inefficient use of resources and lack of international trade capabilities. 242 microenterprises from Ghana’s wood-product industry are used in the analysis. Schooling and onthe- job training explain efficiency dispersions among micro -enterprises. Accordingly, a proper training program can complement human capital creation by schooling and on-the-job-training to improve efficiency. Such program can also increase the awareness about international markets to create new employment opportunities.
