Table explanation
This table provides for several countries an overview of :
- business ownership rate;
- prospective and young entrepreneurship;
- firm turbulence (births and exits of enterprises, business survival rate);
- fast-growing enterprises;
- propensity towards entrepreneurship;
- self-employment rate (by sex).
High business turnover rates, many fast-growing enterprises, many young entrepreneurs and a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship are an indication of a favourable investment climate.
Note:
Comparable definitions are used to compare the figures presented internationally. The definitions sometimes differ from definitions used by Statistics Netherlands. The figures in this table could differ from Dutch figures presented elsewhere on the website of Statistics Netherlands.

Description topics
- Total entrepreneurial activity index
- Young and upcoming entrepreneurship (TEA index).
The TEA index is the sum of the number of persons starting a business (starting entrepreneurs) and the number of owners of businesses that were established less than 3.5 years before the reference date (young entrepreneurs), as a percentage of the labour force. In the TEA index only establishments of legal bodies are counted (Ltd. or plc for example).
Source: EIM, Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM).
The Total Entrepreneurial Activity Index (TEA-index) is an index for the degree of new entrepreneurship by country and is calculated as the percentage of people who undertake such activities in comparison to the labour force (population aged 18 to 65 years). The GEM started in 1999, on the initiative of 10 countries. Since 2001 the EIM has taken part in the GEM within the programme 'MKB en Ondernemerschap' (SME and Entrepreneurship). Annually more than thirty countries take part in this study, among which 20 OECD countries, so that a good international comparison is possible of the degree of new entrepreneurship and of the investment climate.
