Does Microenterprise Work? Microenterprise development works because it reduces reliance on public assistance, creates jobs, and raises the income, job skills, and assets of low-income people. The best national research shows that:
o Low-income microentrepreneurs reduced their reliance on government assistance by 61% with the greatest reduction in the amount of cash benefits received. Average benefits declined by $1,679.
o 72% of low-income microentrepreneurs experienced gains in household income over five years. The average change in household income was $8,485, rising from $13,889 to $22,374 over five years.
o 53% of low-income microentrepreneurs had large enough household gains to move out of poverty The microenterprise business was a major source of earnings for households moving out of poverty.
o Average household assets of low-income microentrepreneurs grew by $15,909 over five years.
o 49% of microenterprises owned by low-income entrepreneurs survived after five years - a rate comparable to the national average.
o On average, microenterprises create 1.5 full and part-time jobs per business.
o Microenterprises also generate a wide range of social and economic benefits such as life-long skills development, further education and training, improvement in self-esteem and family relationships.
