The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) is an international collaborative research program designed to measure levels of entrepreneurship, using consistent definitions and survey methods that allow for meaningful comparisons between countries, and between years. Each national team participating in GEM in a given year undertakes two key surveys, the first of which is the Adult Population Survey (APS) – a random sample of at least 2,000 adults in each country – enquiring about entrepreneurial activity and a host of attitudinal and demographic variables. This is complemented by an indepth National Expert Survey (NES) of at least 36 professionals with detailed knowledge and experience of the national entrepreneurial ecosystem, using GEM-defined entrepreneurial framework conditions to assess the factors that constrain or encourage entrepreneurial activity in the given economy, and make recommendations for the development of that entrepreneurial eco-system.
