This paper examines private sector job creation in Tunisia over the period 1996-2010 using a unique database containing information on all registered private enterprises, including self-employment. In spite of stable growth of gross domestic product, overall net job creation was disappointing and firm dynamics were sluggish. The firm size distribution has remained skewed toward small firms, because of stagnation of incumbents and entrants starting small, typically as one-person firms (self-employment). Churning is limited, especially among large firms, and few firms manage to grow. Post-entry, small firms are the worst performers for job creation, even if they survive. Moreover, the association between productivity, profitability, and job creation is feeble, pointing towards weaknesses in the re-allocative process. Weak net job creation thus appears to be due to insufficient firm dynamism rather than excessive job destruction.2014-10-16T04:00:00.000Z2014-10-16T04:00:00.000ZIndustry|Social Protections and Labor|Education|Finance and Financial Sector DevelopmentLabor Markets|Microfinance|Small Scale Enterprise|Labor Policies|Science EducationMiddle East and North AfricaRijkers, Bob|Arouri, Hassen|Freund, Caroline|Nucifora, AntonioWhich firms create the most jobs in developing countries ? evidence from TunisiaEnglishTunisiaIndustry|Social Protections and Labor|Education|Finance and Financial Sector DevelopmentLabor Markets|Microfinance|Small Scale Enterprise|Labor Policies|Science EducationWPS7068TunisiaEnglishPolicy Research Working PaperMiddle East and North Africa

This proposal for the World Bank Group's forthcoming engagement during the period FY2015-16 has been developed jointly by International Finance Corporation (IFC), Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the World Bank. Prolonged conflict and deep-seated uncertainty has required the World Bank to rely on occasional interim strategy notes rather than medium-term partnership strategies and frameworks. In the highly unpredictable operating environment, institution strengthening to build the foundation of a strong Palestinian administration has been central to the Bank's program, while IFC has focused on the development of the financial and infrastructure sectors. The Bank has been assisting the Palestinian territories since 1994, with assistance financed from International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD's) net income, with each transfer requiring the approval of the Board of Governors. The assistance strategy will balance short-term stabilization and reconstruction activities with operations that serve as platforms for maintaining continuous dialogue with the Palestinian authority (PA) and donors. The strategy outlined is aligned with the Palestinian National Development Plan (2014-16) and the experience with the Bank group's previous (FY2012-14) interim strategy. The first pillar remains centered on strengthening public institutions for state building and improving service delivery. The second pillar continues to be focused on private sector development with an added emphasis on increasing employment opportunities (through supporting reforms that encourage job creation in the private sector). The development of this strategy has been informed by upstream discussions with various parts of the PA, private sector representatives, civil society, and with donor partners.2014-10-13T04:00:00.000Z2014-10-13T04:00:00.000ZPublic Sector Development|Environment|Finance and Financial Sector DevelopmentBanks & Banking Reform|Access to Finance|Environmental Economics & Policies|Debt Markets|Public Sector Corruption & Anticorruption MeasuresMiddle East and North AfricaWest Bank and Gaza - Assistance strategy for the period FY2015-16EnglishWest Bank and GazaPublic Sector Development|Environment|Finance and Financial Sector DevelopmentBanks & Banking Reform|Access to Finance|Environmental Economics & Policies|Debt Markets|Public Sector Corruption & Anticorruption Measures89503West Bank and GazaEnglishCountry Assistance Strategy DocumentMiddle East and North Africa
