THE ABILITY FOR ALL TO TAKE RISKS
Becoming an entrepreneur can mean leaving behind the stability of a traditional job and steady income, or starting from scratch through gig work or while being unemployed – a daunting proposition for anyone, but especially for the many Americans living paycheck to paycheck or with little savings.
Having access to a safety net makes risk-taking far more viable. Policymakers can ensure the next generation of entrepreneurs is not locked out of opportunities to improve their economic situations by helping all Americans build stable, mobile, and – eventually – prosperous financial futures.
