Entrepreneur Generation of Employment:

Every new business is a source of employment to people with different abilities, skills and qualifications, an entrepreneur is one who is willing to bear the risk of a new venture if there is a significant chance for profit. Others emphasize the entrepreneur’s role as an innovator who markets his innovation.

As such entrepreneurship does not become a source of livelihood to those who do have capital to earn interest on nor have the land to earn rent. In fact, what they earn is not only a livelihood or means of sustenance but also a lifestyle for themselves and their families as well as personal job satisfaction. As such entrepreneurs touch the lives of many, directly as well as indirectly.

Unemployment refers to a situation where people who are willing and capable of working are unable to find employment/jobs to do. It is one of the macro-economic problems which every responsible government is expected to monitor and regulate.
