“…In this simultaneous equation system, we allow a dynamic specification for each individual equation, where the lag of each dependent variable is included as an additional independent variable. In this sense, our empirical model resembles similar approaches used by Lee and Parasnis (2014) and Omri, Nguyen, and Rault (2014).…”

“…From a theoretical perspective, reducing the number of working-active populations can reduce unemployment due to greater labor force outflows and a smaller number of the new workforce. Lee and Parasnis (2014) explored the ratio of labor force unemployment rates and labor force participation rates of developed and developing countries, while they concluded that increasing labor force participation rate causes an increase in the unemployment rate. However, it is particularly interesting and important to point out that the change in unemployment rates varies significantly between developed countries and developing countries.…”

Aim of the research is to define unemployment determinants of the labor markets on the example of post-transition Central European eu member countries-Poland, Czech, Slovak, Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia. The purpose of the paper is to point out the role and importance of studying the labor market unemployment determinants of the post-transition countries to provide a proposal for reducing unemployment. In this paper as independent macroeconomic variables have been analyzed gross domestic product, public debt, labor force participation rate and institutional variables like some fixed-term and part-time contracts and expenditures for active and passive labor market policies. An analysis of the labor market unemployment determinants for the Central European eu member countries has been conducted by econometric models of multiple linear regression for each country to determine whether there are differences in unemployment rates between countries within one panel. Results of the research show that in almost all countries, public debt as a macroeconomic variable has a significant impact on unemployment growth, while passive labor market policies of the institutional variables have the most significant impact on the level of unemployment.

“…Jallade (1987) exposed contextual reasons of poverty, such as economic collapse of employment opportunities, education level, experience, skills, attitude, religion and family structure. Lee and Parasni (2014) showed that the involvement of maximum workforce causes unemployment which further increases poverty problems. Osmana, et al (2015) explored the induction of employee from foreign countries reduces the opportunities in the indigenous market and creates an unstable situation for the local people.…”

This study endeavors to answer the research question; how self-employment at Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) level is related to poverty in the developing countries. During these efforts, we used the narrative literature review, methodology, to study related research stream in this domain to develop a better understanding of the phenomenon. Moreover, in the process Peter Ducker and Noel's theory of entrepreneurship and Israel Kirzner's theory of entrepreneurship reviewed to develop theoretical foundations of our research. In this research, we come to the observation that self-employment at SMEs level, somehow helps in fighting poverty in the developing countries. In addition, interestingly Information and Communication Technology (ICT) role has been significant in the developing countries from the context of gig economy, where the firms might not be found in yellow pages, but yet they are part of the economic system against poverty (Subrahmany, 2005).
