Starting a business in a pandemic : the experiences of businesses created during COVID-19 / by Amélie Lafrance-Cooke.: CS36-28-0001/2021-7-4E-PDF
"This article examines the number of entrants during the COVID-19 pandemic and their associated employment. It finds that there were 112,764 entrants in 2020, which is 5.4% less than one year earlier. The bulk of business creation in 2020 occurred following the onset of the pandemic; from June to December 2020, there were 2.8% more entrants than over the same period in 2019. Nonetheless, the employment associated with these entrants was lower than in 2019, and this finding is observed across industries, as well as provinces and territories. This provides evidence that the businesses created in 2020 were smaller on average than businesses created prior to 2020"--Abstract, page 1.
