| Shrnutí: | This study aimed to assess the viability of t\vo rural enterprises, laundry and tailoring shop
from both the organization and members' perspectives, using ratio analysis. The study also
attempted to measure the extent of new employment generated. Results reveal that though
both the projects hold potential for increasing employment and output, tailoring was more
readily acceptable since it required lower working capital consistent with factor
endowments and yielded higher rate of return. Besides, sufficient demand is a pre-requisite
for realization of employment and output that are technically feasible. Age of member was
found to be a significant factor in influencing the number of hours worked. The study
suggests that sufficient emphasis must be given on training of the members as it affects the
profitability of the enterprise. |
