The author of the article shows that the flows between proper entrepreneurs and quasi-entrepreneurs connected with decisions to either hire or lay off staff are crucial for moderating the occupational choice, and thus, lead to changes in the employment structure.

The recession of business opportunities, in turn, is the reason for the reduction of relevant entrepreneurs and the reduction of employment, leading to an increase in the number of quasi-entrepreneurs.The third paper entitled Impact of government spending and corruption on foreign direct investment in Indonesia has been written by Dr Adya Utami Syukri from STIE
