AB  - Self-employment is increasingly an attractive labor market option worldwide. In a European context,
Portugal is well-known for displaying one of the highest rates of self-employment. This study explores
the main determinants of the probability to enter into self-employment in Portugal. We present results
from a binary logit model using individual data drawn from national-level statistics. Our findings suggest
that individuals older than 35, males, married, low educated, individuals with previous experience, and
heads of household are expected to enter self-employment. The empirical study also reveals important
differences regarding households’ compositions and dimensions, current and former unemployment
levels, and at a regional level in Portuguese NUTS II.
