Enterprise development
Project meeting
Work in progress meeting - Enterprise development
Researchers from the Enterprise development for job creation and growth work stream will meet in Pretoria to share their works in progress. The annual work in progress meeting provides an opportunity for researchers to share the progress of their work and to explore areas for research advancement.
The Enterprise development work stream is continuing to produce several detailed studies that contribute to the process of evidence-based policy formulation in South Africa.
SA-TIED researchers will present here ongoing research on tax and labour market policy issues, firm dynamics, and enterprise development.
Policies that promote inclusive development need to be built on reliable facts. The research that will be presented here is one way that the SA-TIED research community supports a sustained and inclusive development path for South Africa and the region.
