Abstract

The study investigates the effect of Government-Backed Financing Guarantees (GFGs) on employment within small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), drawing on data from the Zhejiang Guarantee Group and non-publicly traded SMEs in China. Results indicate a substantial positive impact of GFG programs on SME employment, with notably pronounced benefits for private firms. Furthermore, the analysis confirms that GFGs bolster employment rates in firms by easing financial constraints and increasing firm revenues.
