This article provides a theoretical and empirical analysis of the role of small business and private entrepreneurship
in expanding employment in the services sector. In this context, a comprehensive mechanism is proposed that integrates
institutional (legal and regulatory), financial, technological–digital and human capital components. The author introduces
the “Services Sector Employment Mechanism Index” (SSEMI) as a composite criterion and provides a detailed description
of its structure, weighting coefficients and normalisation procedures
