Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA)

Total Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA)

Source: Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM)

Total early-stage Entrepreneurial Activity (TEA) is the % of 18-64 year old population that is either a nascent entrepreneur, or owner of a business. It is assessed through expert interviews in 100+ countries, roughly 200,000 per year. The aim is to measure two main dimensions: entrepreneurial behaviour and attitudes of individuals (e.g. ownership of young firms, intentions to become an entrepreneur), and the national context (e.g. tax system). It is published by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor.
