English translation: sources of job creation

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Economics
Spanish term or phrase: agentes generadores de empleo
I have the feeling that this lends itself to a fairly literal translation but I am not finding hits for any of the things I come up with.
Desde principios de los años ochenta del pasado siglo se observa un interés por la actividad emprendedora. Esto viene motivado por los recientemente cambios que se han producido en la economía. Las PYMES, el autoempleo, las microempresas ha comenzado a convertirse en uno de los principales agentes generadores de empleo, fundamentalmente en los países de la UE lo que ha despertado el interés de los economista en este ámbito

major/main creators of employment


Explanation:
"Agentes" is probably redundant, SMES, self-employment, etc., became some of the major sources of employment creation/new jobs, or something like that.

disagree  Aoife Kennedy: Sorry Jude, you seem to have mis-read the original. It doesn't mean that SMEs have become employment agencies, but that they are sources of job creation, i.e. that they provide employment

agents creating employment


Explanation:
I like nearly all the alternatives provided, but from the snippet provided it would appear that your doc is written in a fairly academic register, and so this option might also fit well. Changing employment creation to the active creating employment might help English flow better in the paragraph, but of course this is your call! :)
The first link below is a scholarly paper, published fairly recently and featured by the UN in addition to numerous other institutional sites.
Following are a few additional ref pages so that you can compare context and usage patterns to your own doc.
