| Sector | GDP Contribution (%) | Employment (%) | Tax Revenue (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Businesses | 30 | 45 | 20 |
| Large Corporations | 70 | 55 | 80 |
The table shows that while large corporations dominate GDP and tax contributions, small businesses provide a larger share of employment. Policymakers therefore need to balance support:
- Incentives such as tax relief or grants can help small firms increase productivity, potentially boosting their GDP share.
- Employment‑focused policies (e.g., training programmes) should target small businesses to sustain job creation.
- Ensuring a fair tax framework encourages small firms to grow without discouraging investment.
