Luxembourg’s entrepreneurs — people running their own business for three months to 42 months — made up 9.2% of the working population last year, Statec, the country’s statistics office, said on Tuesday.
That compares with a European average of 8.6% and stable compared with previous years, Statec said in a statement. The study was carried out by the Economy Ministry and Chamber of Commerce as part of the international Global Entrepreneurship Monitoring (GEM) programme. The GEM programme showed the equivalent figures for Germany was 4.6% and for France 5.3%, Statec said. It is a study of 64 countries and aims to study attitudes and citizens’ views of entrepreneurship. Sources
