“…However, Taylor (1999), Carrasco (1999), and Georgellis et al (2007) observe no statistically significant effect of education on business survival, while Nziramasanga and Lee (2001) find a negative relationship between education and business survival.…”

This paper investigates determinants of the survival of new businesses and, in particular, focuses on the impacts of urbanisation, education, and gender of the entrepreneurs. The database used holds information related to new companies created in Andalusia (Spain) in the 2009–2014 period using the incubation services offered by the regional administration. From the methodological point of view, econometric survival methods for duration data are used in the analysis. The article contributes towards the literature on business survival by showing that gender and education play a moderating role in the impact of urbanisation economies on business survival.

“…Georgellis study found that parents' background and self-employment person there is no inevitable relation between the lifetimes of family factors on the self-employment person out of the effect is not significant behavior [47]. On the analysis of the macro environment factors impact of self-employment exit behaviors, Nziramasanga found that import growth, loan interest rate increase has a negative effect on self-employment survival, but the added value of industrial products has positive effect to selfemployment survival [42]. Dirk argue that the unemployment rate has a dual effect on the self-employment, on the one hand, the unemployment rate increase will force more unemployed individuals engaged in the self-employment, on the other hand, the deteriorating economic environment will make a self-employment activity is unsustainable and force the self-employment entrepreneurs to opt out of self-employment [48].…”

“…For example Nziramasanga and Lee, the study found that the workers by education degree has a negative effect on self-employment duration, the higher the level of education, self-employment person easier to exit the self-employ-ment [42], but Kangasharju and Pekkala empirical studies are different conclusions, although a higher education level self-employment individuals in higher survival at the recession, but in good times easier to exit from the self-employment business, to pay hire [43]. From self-employment person gender and age, the youngest of the individual are relatively easy to exit from the self-employment, often less than men, women of self-employment duration relative to men are more likely to exit the self-employment business [44].…”

The laborer's employment form can be subdivided into wage-employment, self-employment and unemployment. Self-employment can also be called entrepreneurship, in response to the statement "Public entrepreneurship, Peoples innovation" put forward by the prime minister Li Keqiang. In recent years, self-employment has been attracting more and more attention of researchers, and becomes the research hot spot problem. Self-employment plays an important role in reducing poverty, fostering innovation, developing entrepreneurial economy, promoting economic growth, expanding employment, improving the quality of employment, cultural exchange, taxation and self-efficacy. This paper first analyzes the current situation of self-employment, and then summarizes the significance of self-employment by searching relevant literatures. At the same time, it reviews the relevant literatures at home and abroad, summarizes the research on influential factors of self-employment. The status of self-employment clarifies the factors affecting self-employment. Finally, it points out the shortcomings of the current study, and looks forward to the future trend of research.

“…We seek to control for the following central factors not relevant for our theoretical arguments but shown as important in previous studies of self-employment duration (Evans and Leighton, 1989;Nziramasanga and Lee, 2001;Van Praag, 2003), especially among immigrants (Bates, 1990(Bates, , 1999Joona, 2010;Schutjens et al, 2017).…”

Purpose Economic integration of refugees remains a challenge for developed countries. Although refugees differ greatly from labor migrants in available resources and motivation toward self-employment, prevailing studies on minority and ethnic entrepreneurship tend to lump these different categories of migrants together. Based on theories of migrants’ economic embeddedness, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the extent to which family- and kinship-based resources affect self-employment duration among refugees and labor migrants. Design/methodology/approach Based on Cox regression models, this longitudinal study estimates the self-employment duration of 10,519 refugees and 2,503 labor migrants starting businesses in Sweden in the period 2006–2012. Findings Results reveal that while refugees are at a disadvantage to labor migrants in terms of self-employment duration, their higher level of family embeddedness in part helps them overcome these disadvantages. For refugees but not for labor migrants, co-location in an ethnic enclave also lowers the risk of them becoming unemployed after a spell in entrepreneurship. Originality/value This original paper provides empirical and theoretical contributions to research on migrants’ self-employment success. It also discusses contributions for research on entrepreneurs’ social embeddedness and refugees’ entrepreneurship.
