The 20%: Which Firms Create the Most Jobs
Episode 19
Monday, 18 August, 2025

In this episode of IFC Audio Stories we explore why just a small share of firms, typically young, fast-growing businesses, are responsible for most job creation in emerging markets. IFC Principal Economist Arti Grover unpacks new research showing that age, networks, and capabilities - not size - are the best predictors of a firm’s job creation potential. Then, Alex Busse, Managing Director at NXTP Ventures, offers the venture capital perspective, sharing how early-stage investors identify and support the startups with the capacity to scale and hire. Click here to read IFC's insights on the firms that create more and better jobs.
