SELF-EMPLOYED PERSONS AND MICRO-ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN LATVIA
Journal Title: VADYBA - Year 2018, Vol 32, Issue 1
Abstract
World experience demonstrates that self-employment of the population in civilised forms is an important condition for the recovery of not only the economy, but also of the entire social life of the state. In Latvia the process of establishing micro business and self-employment of people in various spheres of economic activities is very difficult. One of the main reasons for this state of affairs is the lack of a coherent and consistent system of public and, above all, state support for self-employed persons and representatives of micro businesses. The objective of the article is to evaluate the state of self-employment of the population and micro-entrepreneurship in Latvia, as well as the areas for stimulating the development of this business. The novelty of the research is substantiated by the fact that similar studies of the micro-entrepreneurship cluster, self-employment of people and its impact on employment in Latvia have not previously been conducted. The object of the research: the cluster of micro-entrepreneurship and self-employed persons in the economy of Latvia. The goal of the research is to analyse the state of self-employment of the population, micro business in Latvia and to develop proposals for improving the operating conditions for enterprises in this sector of the economy. Methods of research: the analysis of statistical data and mathematical modelling. Within the framework of the research, all calculations have been performed according to the data of the Central Statistical Bureau of Latvia and according to the data of the State Revenue Service. There is a need to create a special system of state support for micro-entrepreneurship in Latvia. It is necessary to modernise the tax policy, introduce a system of tax reliefs for self-employed persons. The improvement of the banking system in the interests of micro business, the simplified procedure for obtaining loans, especially by novice entrepreneurs, are of great importance for the successful development of micro-entrepreneurship in Latvia
