The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) is a not-for-profit academic research consortium that carries out high quality international data research on entrepreneurial activity readily available to as wide an audience as possible. GEM is the largest single study of entrepreneurial activity in the world.
This report constitutes the ninth annual assessment and review of entrepreneurial activity and perceptions in countries participating in the GEM project. Since the first report which was published in 1999 by scholars at Babson College and London Business School, GEM has developed into one of the world’s leading research consortia concerned with improving our understanding of the relationships between perceptions of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial activity, and national economic growth. To this end, the project has been designed as a multinational, harmonized research program providing annual assessments of the entrepreneurial sector for a range of countries.
