Without creative Ideation by Entrepreneurs we won’t have development- the question you would likely ask would be:-How Is entrepreneurship good for economic growth?

High measured levels of entrepreneurship will thus translate directly into high levels of economic growth.
However, the reality is more complicated. If, by entrepreneurship, one allows inclusion of any type of informal self-employment, then high levels of entrepreneurship may actually mean either that there are substantial bureaucratic barriers to formally creating a new business, or simply that the economy is creating too few conventional wage-earning Job Prospects. Under these circumstances, we might reasonably hypothesize that high levels of entrepreneurship would correlate with slow economic growth and lagging development.

High measured levels of entrepreneurship will thus translate directly into high levels of economic growth. However, the reality is more complicated. If, by entrepreneurship, one allows inclusion of any type of informal self-employment, then high levels of entrepreneurship may actually mean either that here are substantial bureaucratic barriers to formally creating a new business, or simply that the economy is creating too few conventional wage-earning Job Prospects.
Under these circumstances, we might reasonably hypothesize that high levels of entrepreneurship would correlate with slow economic growth and lagging development.
