Global Entrepreneurship Monitor
The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research programme is an annual assessment of the national level of entrepreneurial activity. Initiated in 1999 with 10 countries, it has progressively expanded its coverage.
GEM focuses on three main objectives:
- to measure differences in entrepreneurial attitudes, activity and aspirations among economies
- to uncover factors determining the nature and level of national entrepreneurial activity
- to identify policy implications for enhancing entrepreneurship in an economy
The Hunter Centre has played a significant role in the international organisation of GEM since 2000 and is responsible for the Country Report for Scotland and, jointly with Aston Business School, the UK Report. During that time, GEM Scotland Reports have covered special topics including:
- Financing of Entrepreneurship
- Entrepreneurship, Gender and Age
- Ethnic & Immigrant Entrepreneurship in Scotland
- University Spinouts and Finance for Start-ups
- Home-based Entrepreneurship
- Education and Training for Entrepreneurship
- Social Entrepreneurship
- Intrapreneurship
Country coverage
In 2022, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) research consortium measured rates of entrepreneurship by undertaking structured interviews with around 170,000 adults across 49 countries. Within the UK, 10, 143 adults participated in the GEM Adult Population Survey (APS) in 2022. The Scotland report is based on data from 1,582 participants in the adult working-age bracket (18-64) from an overall sample of 2,020 adults (including those over 65) that took part in the APS.
