Abstract
Results show that there are significant differences across countries in ter ms of who becomes an entrepreneur. In particular age, gender and education were found to be key variables, although the nature and strength of the rel ationship varies considerably across countries. It was concluded that entre preneurs are not a homogenous group in the EU.
