N2 - GEM Scotland 2007/08 has nine years of data
to draw on, with around 2000 individuals aged
between 16 and 80 interviewed each year. In
the UK in 2007, only those aged 16 to 64 were
sampled and the total size of the 2007 GEM UK
sample was 42,713. In 2008, 32,007 individuals
aged between 16 and 80 were interviewed.
In early 2009 a harmonization of the complete
UK database from 2002 to 2008 was
undertaken, enabling pooling of data and the
creation of maps of entrepreneurial activity in
Scotland at NUTS2 and NUTS3 (local authority)
level.
New questions in the 2007 and 2008
surveys enable identification of home-based
businesses.
Training in starting a business was taken as
the first annual special topic in GEM in 2008.
Together with slightly different questions asked
on this topic in 2007, this data provides a broad
picture of the extent and impact of training in
entrepreneurship in the UK and Scotland.
