Chapter 2
Current Scenario of Entrepreneurship

We are concentrating on the current position of entrepreneurship in the economic sector of


Bangladesh.
We are going to show the sectors entrepreneurs are occupying and the percentage of male and
female entrepreneurs in those sectors. For this purpose there are some terms about which we
need to have a clear idea.

Working Proprietors: Working proprietors include all individual proprietors and partners
actively engaged in the work of the establishment excluding silent or inactive partners.

Permanent Establishment: An economic unit outside household having fixed location and
permanent structure is a permanent establishment.

Temporary Establishment: An economic unit located in a fixed place beside a road or in a


market place outside household, under a temporary shed for a year or more is a temporary
establishment.

Economic Household: Households those have non-agricultural economic activities such as


cottage industry, shop or workshop in or within its premises are classified as economic
household.

From this table, we can see that entrepreneurs are mainly concentrating in the permanent
establishment for doing business. But women entrepreneurs are more in numbers in economic
household sector.
Again we can also find some additional information from this table.They are:
(1) 78.9% entrepreneurs are engaged in permanent establishment.
(2) 9.8% entrepreneurs are engaged in temporary establishment.
(3) 11.3% entrepreneurs are engaged in economic household.

SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) is the seedbed of entrepreneurship. Generally,


entrepreneurs start their business by going for SME. Day by day, the number of SME is going
upwards. The following table shows how SME is growing in numbers every year from 2001-
2007. The growth of SME is still increasing at a higher rate.

Growth Pattern of SME

Year Growth percentage of SME


2001-2002 7.69
2002-2003 7.21
2003-2004 7.45

Contribution of SMEs in the GDP on Bangladesh


Number of workers Total contribution to GDP Percentage of total
contribution

0-1 193996555714 26%


2-5 379663897358 51%
6-10 73120983681 10%
11-20 45183240157 6%

51-100 15138922373 2%
Total 741064097360 100%

The above table is presented to show how much effect a size of SME can have on the GDP it
provide to the total GDP of the country. GDP is one of the most important factor that shows
the economic condition of our country, In that GDP SME provide a certain portion of GDP.
The above table is simply showing which size of SME is contributing how much to that
portion of GDP, As we can see, SME having 2-5 members are contributing more to the GDP
produced by SME compared to others. On the other hand, SME having 51-100 employees are
contributing the least. This is happening because the number of this size of SMEs are not that
much higher than the other sizes.

Recommendation
We have a course about entrepreneurship development and as we are students under this
course, we have some recommendation to increase entrepreneurs in Bangladesh. These
recommendation are given below:

1. Different kinds of seminar must be held to increase awareness among people about
the benefits of entrepreneurship.
2. Arranging motivational seminars and workshop to inspire the entrepreneurs.
3. Government may take initiative to provide proper help to the entrepreneurs.
4. Government and different NGOs may provide loan among the entrepreneurs at low
interest rate.
5. Government may provide them more tax exemption facilities.
6. The higher studies can be inspired to entrepreneurship-oriented; not job-oriented.
7. The government and NGOs may pay special attention for the development of SMEs
in Bangladesh.
Conclusion
Bangladesh is a developing country and our economy is not developed. A huge number of
people are unemployed for lack of job opportunities. For this reason, the unemployment rate
is very high. So, the competition among the job seekers is also very high in Bangladesh.
Entrepreneurship can be the greatest solution for us to reduce this unemployment rate. If
more people become entrepreneurs, it will not only help us in earning profit but also create
employments for many unemployed people. And increasing the number of entrepreneurs can
play the most vital role to develop our economy. Only government cannot play the role to
increase entrepreneurs, we should help the government. We have to determine that we cannot
only become the job seekers, we have to provide job opportunities among the people.
