Resumo: This article focuses on the path of young (18-24 year old) Brazilian entrepreneurs during the period 2001 and 2008. Based on data from the GEM Study, we analyzed young peoples’ participation in entrepreneurship within Latin American and Bris countries (Brazil, Russia, India, and South Africa). Toward the goal of uncovering peculiarities of this entrepreneurial segment, we focus only on the youths’ initial entrepreneurial activities, their motivation (entrepreneurship by necessity or opportunity), revenue, education, activity sector as well as on policies and support mechanisms. Associates quantitative and qualitative methods, and contextualized with secondary sources such as IBGE, BID, PNAD, OIT, and OMS. It was found that, in Brazil, the majority of youths are self-employed, have few employees in their businesses and dispose of few resources to face risk. Factors such as low levels of education and other factors, among others, tend to push their businesses toward a higher probability of failure. Businesses that survive do not yield significant economic impacts, but rather merely maintain the precarious survival of a great number of youths that are excluded from the formal labor market. On the other hand, young people who are entrepreneurs “by opportunity” are part of a relatively small group and are able to support them. Finally, we emphasize that support and sustainability of young entrepreneurs depend on the context and public policy.

Com base em dados da Pesquisa GEM, analisa-se aparticipação do jovem empreendedor da América Latina e do Bris (Brasil, Rússia, Índiae África do Sul). Priorizam-se as atividades empreendedoras iniciais do jovem, suamotivação (empreender por necessidade ou oportunidade), características de renda,escolaridade, tipo de atividade e políticas públicas. Associando métodos quantitativose qualitativos, descreve-se o perfil da atividade empreendedora do jovem brasileirocontextualizando-a a partir de fontes secundárias como o IBGE, BID, PNAD, OIT eOMS. Observou-se que no Brasil a maior parte dos jovens são autoempregadores,empregam poucas pessoas em seus negócios e com pouca estrutura para enfrentamentode riscos. Baixo índice de escolaridade, entre outros fatores, encaminham onegócio no sentido de uma probabilidade maior de fracasso. Empreendimentos quesobrevivem não resultam em impactos econômicos, mantendo de forma precária asobrevivência de um grande número de jovens, excluídos do mercado de trabalhoformal. Por outro lado, os jovens que empreendem por oportunidade são um gruporelativamente pequeno. Eles identificam oportunidades e têm melhores habilidadespara sustentá-las. Por fim, destaca-se que o apoio e a sustentabilidade do jovemempreendedor dependem do contexto geral e de políticas educacionais.Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV EBAPE)2011-12-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/7012Brazilian Journal of Public Administration; Vol. 45 No. 3 (2011); 695 a 720Revista de Administração Pública; Vol. 45 Núm. 3 (2011); 695 a 720Revista de Administração Pública; v. 45 n. 3 (2011); 695 a 7201982-31340034-7612reponame:Revista de Administração Públicainstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/rap/article/view/7012/5571Bulgacov, Yára Lúcia M.Cunha, Sieglinde Kindl daCamargo, Denise deMeza, Maria LuciaBulgacov, Sergioinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-17T20:47:54Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/7012Revistahttps://ebape.fgv.br/publicacoes/rapONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||rap@fgv.br1982-31340034-7612opendoar:2021-11-17T20:47:54Revista de Administração Pública - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)false
