Young people and graduates from the East of England are more likely to be entrepreneurial than their counterparts across the rest of the UK.
Compared to the national average, almost a third more young people aged between 18 and 24 in the East of England are setting up their own businesses. And graduates from the region are more enterprising than anywhere else across the rest of the UK, with 7.8 per cent engaging in entrepreneurial activity, compared to an average figure of 5.7 per cent across the UK. The findings were revealed in the East of England sample of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) study – the largest annual survey of entrepreneurship in the UK – commissioned by the East of England Development Agency. The GEM study highlighted a significant rise in women’s entrepreneurship in the region. |
