#Gender disparities in ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ชโ€™s entrepreneurship cycle are a manifestation of both the historical marginalisation of #women and the structural barriers limiting equal participation in the economy, says @JackyKagume

orfonline.org/research/gendeโ€ฆ
Recent progress in the legal framework has been suboptimal in closing the gender gaps, as seen in the persistent inequalities in formal employment and the high concentration of unlicensed women-owned enterprises in the informal sector.
The inequalities are evident not only in the registration and formalisation of enterprises but also in the firmsโ€™ operations and management.

#Cynicaldea @IEAKwame and @LeoKemboi aserts that an indispensable requirement for every coalition should do as opposed to the fancy stories it can tell.
In the language of conventional economics thinking, @IEAKwame & @LeoKemboi make the uncontroversial claim that political coalitions should compete on how they can provide public goods as a start & pursue policies that expand the production possibilities frontier for Kenya.

#KEBudget2022_23
Policy measures for economic recovery in #KEBudget2022_23 should have a keen focus on revenue growth and building of economic resilience due to increased risk exposures from external debt
Theme for #KEBudget2022_23 is "Accelerating Economic Recovery for Improved Livelihood", contextually apt but will it walk the talk??
