Resumo: | This paper aims to compare the entrepreneurial profile of female and male tourism graduates in Portugal, namely in what concerns their motivations to start a new business. The concepts of ‘necessity’ and ‘opportunity’ entrepreneurship are used. There is a higher proportion of male entrepreneurs than female entrepreneurs. Men are also more likely to be opportunity entrepreneurs than women. Moreover, there is an association between being an opportunity entrepreneur and an employer, whereas the proportion of necessity entrepreneurs is higher among independent workers. Salaries of opportunity entrepreneurs are also higher. There is also a positive relation between being an opportunity entrepreneur and one’s level of education.However, if the desire to start one’s own business is analysed, the proportion of men and women who would like to start their own business is very similar. Moreover, family life and having children seems to have a significant impact on men and women’s desire to start their own business. |

Este artigo pretende comparar o perfil empreendedor dos diplomados e diplomadas em Turismo em Portugal, em particular as suas motivações para criar o seu próprio negócio. Os conceitos de empreendedorismo por “necessidade” e “oportunidade” são utilizados. Há uma maior proporção de diplomados empreendedores do que de diplomadas empreendedoras. Para além disso, os homens revelam maior tendência para serem empreendedores por oportunidade do que as mulheres. Há ainda uma associação entre ser empreendedor por oportunidade e ser empregador, enquanto a proporção de empreendedores por necessidade é maior junto dos trabalhadores independentes. Há ainda uma relação positiva entre ser empreendedor por oportunidade e as habilitações. Apesar destas diferenças, a vontade de criar o próprio emprego/empresa é muito semelhante para os homens e mulheres inquiridos. Verifica-se, contudo, que a vida familiar e o facto de ter filhos afeta de forma significativa e diferenciada os desejos de homens e mulheres no que concerne a vontade de criar o seu próprio negócio.
