Policy-making for Indigenous entrepreneurship: towards an inclusive approach

This paper investigates the success level of Indigenous entrepreneurship (IE) policies, examines if there is an international dimension to the successes and failures of IE policies, and synthesises lessons from both successful and unsuccessful policies to lead towards a more inclusive approach for the future. Using a narrative systematic review, our findings show that while some IE policies have succeeded, others have either been ineffective, ill-conceived or, in a few cases, have led to worse/negative outcomes for Indigenous entrepreneurs. We unpack lessons from the successful and failed policies and provide suggestions for future policy and research.
