A Global Perspective on Entrepreneurship Education and Training

Since its first comparative national surveys in 1999,
the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research
consortium has contributed toward building and
enhancing global understanding about the attitudes,
activity and aspirations of entrepreneurs and
environmental factors that help them flourish. By
improving knowledge about entrepreneurship, GEM
helps governments, businesses and educators around
the world design policies, develop programs and
provide assistance to help enterprising individuals
generate new jobs and wealth in an increasingly
global business environment.

The GEM project focuses on three main objectives:

• To measure the scale and scope of entrepreneurial
activity and analyze how this differs across
countries

• To uncover factors determining national levels of
entrepreneurial activity

• To identify policies that may enhance the national
level of entrepreneurial activity
