Future Potential. A GEM perspective on youth entrepreneurship

Abstract

This report analyses data collected over the period 2012 – 2014 by GEM National Teams through the standard annual surveys in order to contribute to a deeper understanding of the nature, characteristics and dynamics of youth entrepreneurs and enterprise formation, from a global perspective. The areas focused on are a comparison between youth and adults, gender differences in youth entrepreneurial behaviour, and a regional comparison of youth entrepreneurship.
