Notes to answerer

Asker: I didn't mention the context, because actually there isn't much I can say. All I have is a table with a list of problems and strategies to solve those problems. So, this is one of the strategies mentioned.

1 hr confidence:

self employment creation

Explanation:
Actually it'd be "self employment creation".
Without a context this is the most appropriate translation.
