“…Existing research on the "push-pull" debate has not provided conclusive answers, although many studies support the role of push factors (e.g. Storey, 1991;Earle and Sakova, 2000;Moore and Mueller, 2002;Ritsilä and Tervo, 2002;Tervo, 2006). A recent Finnish study, however, suggests that unemployment is no longer an important route to entrepreneurship .…”

ABSTRACT. This paper analyses female and male entrepreneurship and the differences between them in Finland. The female self-employment rate is clearly lower than that of male self-employment in Finland. The paper shows that differing behaviour accounts for differing rates of self-employment between females and males. The predicted earnings differential between self-employment and paid-employment has a divergent effect on the probabilities of self-employment. For males, it is positive, as expected. For females, it has no effect, which accentuates the other motives they have for selfemployment. Both spouse and family are found to have bigger effects on female selfemployment than on male self-employment. Yet personal characteristics are behind entrepreneurship for both sexes. Regional characteristics are more important for male than female self-employment. The analysis is based on a structural probit model and a large register-based data set which represents a 7% random sample of all Finns in 2001.

“…We therefore controlled for the respondent's education level, i.e., the age when finishing full-time education minus the usual age of starting education, namely six years. Self-employed kin can serve as role models (Scherer et al, 1989) and a source of entrepreneurial know-how (Tervo, 2006). We included two separate dummy variables for having a self-employed father and/or a self-employed mother (1 = self-employed, 0 = otherwise).…”

Drawing on institutional theory and the model of entrepreneurial action, we build and test a multilevel model on the outcomes of entrepreneurship education. Essentially, we suggest that entrepreneurship education has stronger relationships with subsequent entrepreneurial activity in seemingly entrepreneurship-hostile institutional environments. Findings from 11,230 individuals in 32 countries support this notion. The results have implications for researchers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship education.
