Last November 2008 in Barcelona presented the results of the study GEM (Global Entrepreneurship Monitor ) which measures, among other issues, the entrepreneurial activity rate (0 to 42 months of project life business) in a territory. The study is applied annually in 60 countries and in Spain in 17 regions and 2 autonomous cities (Ceuta , and Melilla). The study finds that in Spain a entrepreneurial activity rate is 2 points above the European average.
The presentation will summarize the main results obtained for Catalunya and offered interesting facts about the differences between men and women entrepreneurs:
a) Catalunya has female entrepreneurial activity rate ( 6.1%) higher compared with other European countries (though lower than other regions when compared in Spain).
b) Potentially about 50% of men i 50% of women could take your own business, but
c) Almost twice as many men than women actually begin your project entrepreneur is consolidated: for every 100 male entrepreneurs, there are 58 women entrepreneurs (21 more than in the year 2003); also
d) Between 2006 and 2007 has doubled the% and potential entrepreneurs has increased the% of consolidated entrepreneurs, but
e) Almost as women than men (about 50%) leaving for "financial problems" (a quarter of all dropouts) and "Other reasons" not specified (almost 30% of total).
f) Among the entrepreneurs who drop out, nearly half are between 35 and 44 years , while it is in this age where it is the largest bulk of potential entrepreneurs.
g) The mean of resources and services for women entrepreneurs in Catalonia (assessment by experts of the sector) is equal to the European average (3.4 out of 5) and fifth on the other regions (the most highly-valued Aragón).
h) Women entrepreneurs still undertaken out of necessity (that chance) than men.
i) Women who have not taken a business, mainly know other entrepreneurs do not perceive positive inputs on successful experiences, and even consider starting a business is a good choice, lack of perception opportunities (or the fear of failure or lack of confidence in their abilities) paralyzes its entrepreneurial potential.
j) Those that have done so, mainly rely on their own abilities to create company and not the fear of failure stops . Your profile (potential entrepreneurs, early stage and consolidated) in Catalonia is: woman between 33 and 45, urbanite, with high school or college, with a monthly income of between 600 and 1,200 euros at the beginning and between 1,800 and 2,400 euros on consolidation.
