Although there has been structural change in European regions e.g. in political or cultural terms, there have also been areas of convergence. Since the seventies, economic development in Europe has been marked by a de-industrialisation process and tertiarisation. As part of its actions to support the growth of the European economy and its competitiveness, one of the foci of the European Commission has been to promote innovation, SME’s and entrepreneurship. Such a focus has been renewed in the Europe 2020 agenda. However, a recent survey by the Eurobarometer shows that only 45% of EU citizens would like to be self-employed, compared with 55% in the United States. In addition, only 39% of women declared having similar aspirations.
