Majority of MFIs have the mission to create jobs, however after close monitoring they observe that microloan is a good safety tool but not a booster of jobs. Microfinance should not be expected to have significant impact on job creation and unemployment reduction.  Some studies show that one microenterprise creates on average 1.1 jobs, that is one in ten hires an employee beyond the self-employed founder.
