The development in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is experiencing a crucial stage. How the region addresses the employment needs of its rapidly increasing population of young people will determine whether the MENA region will become one characterized by stable, knowledge-based economies that have dynamic working middle class. Entrepreneurship is considered vital to drive this transition of the region. However, not all types of entrepreneurship can contribute equally to increased economic growth and job creation. For these reasons, entrepreneurship literature shows a renewed focus on high-growth entrepreneurship. Increased high-growth entrepreneurship is expected to not only spur job growth but also act as a significant source of innovation and new investments. This article explores the entrepreneurial ecosystem of the MENA region. The chapter discusses various challenges and provides specific recommendations to boost high-growth entrepreneurship in the MENA region.

Fiscal Management

Improved fiscal management and economic diversification have strengthened the resilience of Morocco’s economy in recent years. Yet, economic growth, at 3 percent in 2018, has not been robust enough and unemployment remains high, especially among the youth. This reinforces the need for sustaining the recent momentum in reforms toward higher and more inclusive growth, buttressed by the private sector. Key priorities include improving the quality of the education system, the functioning of the labor market, female labor force participation, and the business environment. Since 2012, the Fund has been actively engaged with Morocco through four two-year Precautionary Liquidity Line (PLL) arrangements, the last one approved in December 2018.

Blue Growth

Terms like blue growth (as well as the blue economy) have become the new buzzword inscribing a new era where the seas are recognized as potential drivers for the European economy. It is nevertheless, through this same logic of limitless economic growth, marine resources have been unsustainably exploited despite numerous institutional attempts to tackle overfishing. The aim of this paper is to point at the contradictions inherent in the objectives of the blue economy, and question the belief that ecological, social and economic targets can be achieved under (blue) growth-centred policies. An analysis of the (failing) policies for a ‘sustainable use of marine resources’ will be conducted and exemplified through an analysis of the main tools the EU has promoted as solutions to the fisheries crisis (sustainable consumption, privatisation of fish, fishing in waters of third countries and marine aquaculture). Additionally, the sectors promoted by the EU's Blue Growth strategy (marine aquaculture, coastal tourism, marine biotechnology, ocean energy and seabed mining) will also be evaluated in order to question this new vision for the seas and the coast. Through the introduction of the concept blue degrowth, this article aims to open up a more critical discussion around the blue growth strategy by highlighting the inherent dangers which lie in such economic strategies.

Peru is a place with abundant biological resources that should be employed for the benefit of society in general. However, to date, the use of Peruvian plant genetic resources was not fully exploited for the development of improved crops. This work was mostly conducted by the international private sector. The Climate Change Laboratory at Instituto Nacional de Innovación Agraria, and other laboratories at Universidad Nacional José Faustino Sánchez Carrión and Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina together with other research programs of other institutions seek to promote the massive and sustainable use of plant genetic resources maintained in germplasm banks. It is planned to make use of modern molecular and morphological techniques. Moreover, infrastructure and human resources are being improved. As a result, we will be able to maintain the growth of the agricultural activity in Peru in terms of space and time.

This chapter explores the employment performance and capacities of the Tunisian private sector. The analysis relies mainly on data from the annual enterprise surveys and on the TLMPS 2014 data. The size and the structure of the Tunisian labor market are analyzed, showing that the creation of more jobs requires the private sector to invest more, especially in new technologies. The private sector must increase its share in the economy and improve its competitiveness internationally. The intra- and inter-sectoral allocation of employment and variation of labor productivity are described, analyzing the capacity of the economy to improve the quality of labor demand and absorb highly educated young people. The link between firm size and labor demand is also analyzed, showing the need for a new industrial structure with a bigger share of larger and more dynamic enterprises.

Ocean Ecosystem

<p>One of the biggest ongoing trends related to oceans is the growth of the Blue Economy, that is described as the sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods and jobs, and ocean ecosystem health. In the EU only, it represents roughly 5.4 million jobs and generates a gross added value of almost €500 billion a year. Unlocking the value of the blue economy requires mapping our oceans with both environmental and social dimensions. To achieve this, it is of vital importance to have support and participation from governments, the scientific community and the private sector. Global initiatives like the Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development and SeaBed2030 are good platforms for these stakeholders to overcome internal institutional inertia or distrust of novel types of partnerships, to consolidate or share existing data and help map areas where no data exist. The private sector in particular is key to reach the goal of a comprehensively mapped seafloor. We cannot rely solely on current academic scientific research funding mechanisms. Government funding for academic research is limited, and competition for grants can be expected to remain high in the future. Business can provide much more than just simple funding of Seabed Mapping projects. R&D, Local Content and Participation, Data Stores, Capacity Building and PR are just few examples. The private sector can help affect policy change through lobbying efforts, train the next generation of Ocean Mappers and Scientists, and help to create sustainable practices within the oceans.  So why aren’t more companies investing in these important initiatives? Here we will discuss reasons behind this lack of active participation. We will also explore ways encourage the private sector to think beyond “business as usual” and take ambitious actions in advancing ocean science toward addressing societal needs. Furthermore, we will showcase studies where this collaboration has been effective. The ball is in the “business court”. It is imperative that this sector shifts mindset, allowing data to live beyond its own immediate needs and serve the maximum good. When this happens, together we will move ocean science forward and meet our shared goal of a healthy, sustainable ocean for generations to come.</p>

The article examines the theoretical aspects of the concept “human resources” and its relationship with the model of economic growth. The authors outlined the factors influencing the formation and quality of human resources in Russia and substantiated the direct dependence of the total human resources of the country on the volume of the human resources of Russia’s regions. The article examines how education and wages affect the movement of graduates, seen as a promising part of the country’s human resources, in the labor market. The authors analyzed the indicators of the formation and use of human resources in Russia for the period from 2010 to 2020. The research confirmed the significance of the implemented national project aimed at increasing labor productivity and supporting the employment in Russia, as it is crucial for increasing human resources. The authors proposed measures aimed at improving the quality of human resources in Russia and, as a result, increasing quality of life.
