Nonprofit organizations are well-known for helping millions across the globe. But how often is the nonprofit sector associated with economic growth?
In the US, the nonprofit sector represents approximately 5 percent of gross domestic product, 10 percent of wages, and has been creating jobs proportionately faster than many other parts of the economy. The factors underlying these results are numerous and include a complex mix of laws, policies, tax incentives and societal factors.
In the first installment of AmCham China's Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) summer series, Thomas Fraser will discuss lessons learned from a lengthy study of how countries have developed their nonprofit sectors and how these insights could be beneficial for China and many others.
