Abstract

The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) emphasizes that the profile of entrepreneurs differs considerably across countries. This report reviews three profile factors: inclusiveness, industry, and impact. Data reveals reluctance among people in Trinidad & Tobago to network with, and seek advice from people with expertise. This suggests that training and awareness initiatives may serve the population well. There may also be a cultural bias operating that deflates the level of necessity-driven entrepreneurship reported by Trinidad & Tobago respondents.
