4 1. SELF-EMPLOYMENT VS. EMPLOYEE STATUS 1.1 Preference of status -- A majority of people in Greece favour self-employment as opposed to employment by a company, which is not the case in the EU as a whole - Half of the respondents in Greece (50%) people in Greece say that if they could choose between different kinds of jobs, they would prefer to be self-employed rather than be employed by a company. This compares with 37% who express a preference for selfemployment at EU level. In contrast, just 43% of respondents in Greece say that they would prefer to be an employee a result that is relatively low compared with the 58% of people who give this answer at EU level. However, despite the popularity of self-employment in Greece, more people now say that they would rather work as an employee (+6 points) than did so in There was an even bigger drop in the number of people who favour self-employment (-10 points). This is similar to the EU-level trend, with more Europeans now preferring to work as employees (+9 points) and fewer preferring to be self-employed (-8 points). 2
5 1.2. Reasons for wanting to be self-employed -- A relatively high number of people in Greece as opposed to the wider EU associate self-employment with better income prospects Respondents who previously said that they would prefer to be self-employed than work as an employee were now asked why they would rather be self-employed. Multiple answers were permitted. Two-thirds of respondents in Greece (66%) say they want the personal independence or self-fulfilment that comes with self-employment. This is somewhat higher than the 62% of people who say this at EU level. Nearly a quarter of respondents in Greece (23%) say they would like the freedom to choose the place and time of their work, as opposed to the 30% of people who give this answer across the EU. More people in Greece (28%, vs. 16% at EU level) say they are attracted by better income prospects. Relatively small numbers of respondents give other reasons for preferring selfemployment, including the desire to exploit a business opportunity (5% vs. 4% at EU level), avoiding the uncertainties of paid employment (3%, the same as the EU-level result), the lack of attractive employment opportunities (3% vs. 2%), wanting to contribute to society (2%, the same as the EU-level result), the favourable economic climate (7% vs. 2%), or the fact that friends or family members are self-employed (1%, the same as at EU level). Just 8% of respondents in Greece cite other reasons for favouring self-employment, fewer than the 15% of Europeans who so. Base: those who said they would prefer to be self-employed (EU27=10082 / EL= 501) 3
6 2. PERCEPTIONS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP 2.1. Feasibility of becoming self-employed -- Three out 10 people in Greece, as across the EU, consider self-employment to be feasible Respondents were asked whether it would be feasible for them to become self-employed within the next five years, regardless of whether they would like to be. In Greece three out of 10 (30%) of respondents say that this would be feasible, with 9% saying it would be very feasible and 21% saying it would be fairly feasible. This is almost identical to the EU-level result: as in Greece, 30% of people across the EU think that it would be feasible to become self-employed (10% regard it as very feasible, and 20% as fairly feasible). Base: those who are not self-employed (EU27= / EL= 845) Two-thirds (68%) of people in Greece say that self-employment is unfeasible, with 16% considering self-employment to be not very feasible and 52% regarding it as not feasible at all. At EU level 67% of respondents think it would not be feasible (22% say it is not very feasible, while 45% consider it to be not feasible at all). Overall there has been relatively little evolution in opinion on this question in Greece since The number of people who consider self-employment to be a feasible option is virtually unchanged. While the number who view it as not very feasible declined (-5 points), this fall was matched by an increase in the number who say it is not feasible at all (+4 points). The EU-level results were also broadly unchanged. 4
7 2.2. Reasons for unfeasibility -- A third of respondents in Greece think that the current economic climate is not conducive to starting a business, far more than in the EU as a whole Respondents who said they did not regard self-employment as feasible for them within the next five years were then asked why they did not consider it feasible. Multiple answers were permitted. A quarter of respondents in Greece (26%) say they do not regard self-employment as feasible on the grounds that they do not have enough capital or financial resources more than the 21% of people who give this answer at EU level. More people in Greece (33%) argue that the current economic climate is not good for a start-up, as opposed to just 12% of EU-level respondents. Relatively few people in Greece give other reasons for not regarding self-employment as a feasible alternative. No more than a tenth of respondents say that they lack the skills to be self-employed (7% vs. 8% at EU level), that they have no business idea (3% vs. 7%), that they would have difficulty reconciling self-employment with family commitments (10% vs. 6%), that they fear the risk of failure and its consequences (5%, the same as at EU level), and that they are put off by the burden of red tape (3% vs. 4%). Over a third (34%) of respondents in Greece fewer than in the EU as a whole (55%) say that they have "other reasons" for not regarding self-employment as a feasible option. Base: those who said they did not regard self-employment as feasible for them within the next five years (EU27= / EL= 575) 5
8 2.3. Desire to become self-employed -- Half of the respondents in Greece regard self-employment as desirable, compared with a third at EU level Respondents were then asked how desirable it was for them to become self-employed within the next five years. Half of people in Greece (50%) say it is desirable, with 21% regarding it as very desirable and 29% as fairly desirable. This is very high compared with the EU as a whole, where one-third (32%) of people view self-employment as desirable (11% think it is very desirable, and 21% fairly desirable). Just under half (49%) of respondents in Greece say self-employment is not desirable, with 15% seeing it as not very desirable and 34% viewing it as not at all desirable. Twothirds (65%) of respondents say the same thing at EU level (22% think self-employment is not very desirable, and 43% say it is not at all desirable). Base: those who are not self-employed (EU27= / EL= 845) 6
9 2.4. Fears when setting up a business -- A majority of people in Greece say that bankruptcy makes them afraid of starting a business Respondents were asked to say which two risks they would be afraid of most if they were to set up a business today. A majority of respondents in Greece (52%) say they would be afraid of the risk of going bankrupt if they started their own business more than the 43% at EU level who are afraid of bankruptcy. A quarter (24% vs. 37% at EU level) say the risk of losing their property/home would concern them the most. Over a third of respondents in Greece (37% vs. 33%) say that the risk of irregular income would make them afraid of setting up a business, while around a sixth (15% vs. 19%) say that they would be worried by the lack of job security. The possibility of suffering a personal failure concerns a quarter of respondents (23% vs. 15% at EU level), while 9% cite the need to devote too much energy or time to the business (compared with 13% in the EU). 7
10 3. EXPERIENCE OF STARTING UP A BUSINESS -- A third of respondents in Greece have started a business or are planning to start one, compared with a quarter of respondents in the EU as a whole Respondents were asked whether they had ever started or taken over a business, or whether they were taking steps to start a business. A third of respondents in Greece (32%) say that they have started a business or are making plans to do so, as opposed to the 23% of people at EU level who give this answer. Two-thirds (68%) say that they have never done any of these things, while 77% of EU respondents say this. Compared with December 2009, more respondents in Greece say now that they have not started a business and are not planning to start one (+2 points). There was no change at EU level on this point. 8
11 4. PERCEPTIONS OF ENTREPRENEURS AND THE ROLE OF EDUCATION 4.1. Perceptions of entrepreneurs -- While most people in Greece agree that entrepreneurs bring economic benefits, many also think that they have selfish motives Respondents were asked whether they agree with a series of statements about entrepreneurship. They were first asked to say whether they agree that entrepreneurs are job creators. A large majority of people in Greece (87%, the same as at EU level) agree that entrepreneurs are job creators. Over a tenth of respondents (12% vs. 11% at EU level) disagree with this statement. While there was no change at EU level between 2009 and 2012 on this question, slightly more people in Greece now agree with the idea that entrepreneurs are job creators (+2 points). Three quarters of respondents in Greece (75%, compared with 79% at EU level) agree that entrepreneurs create new products and services that benefit all of us. Nearly a quarter of respondents (24%, vs. 18% at EU level) disagree with this statement. There was again little change on this point, both in Greece and at EU level. Seven out of 10 respondents in Greece (69%), compared with 57% in the EU, agree that entrepreneurs take advantage of other people s work. Three people in 10 (29%, vs. 39% across the EU) do not agree that this is the case. While the proportion of respondents 9
12 agreeing with this statement rose substantially in the EU (+8 points), it fell substantially in Greece (-8 points). Finally, a large majority of respondents in Greece (67%, vs. 52% in the EU as a whole) agree that entrepreneurs only think about their own pockets. A third of people disagree (32% vs. 45% at EU level). However, the level of agreement fell substantially in Greece (-11 points), also falling slightly across the EU (-2 points) The role of education in entrepreneurship activity -- Respondents in Greece are less likely to have taken an entrepreneurship course than the average EU respondent Respondents were asked whether they have ever taken part in any course or activity about entrepreneurship, which is defined as turning ideas into action and developing one s own projects. A sixth (17%) of respondents in Greece say that they have taken part in this type of course, which is lower than the 23% of people who give this response at EU level. 83% say that they have never taken an entrepreneurship course (76% say this across the EU). 10
13 Entrepreneurship TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Between the 15 June and the 8 August 2012, TNS Political & Social, a consortium created between TNS political & social, TNS UK and TNS opinion, carried out the survey FLASH EUROBAROMETER 354 about Entrepreneurship. This survey has been requested by the EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Directorate-General Enterprise and Industry. It is a general public survey co-ordinated by the Directorate-General for Communication ( Research and Speechwriting Unit). The FLASH EUROBAROMETER 354 covers the population of the respective nationalities of the European Union Member States, resident in each of the 27 Member States and aged 15 years and over. It has also been conducted in Croatia, Turkey, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Israel, Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Brazil and the United States. All interviews were carried using the TNS e-call center (our centralized CATI system), except in Israel, China, India, Japan, South Korea and Brazil. In every country respondents were called both on fixed lines and mobile phones (except in India were the interviews were conducted face-to-face). The basic sample design applied in all states is multi-stage random (probability). In each household, the respondent was drawn at random following the "last birthday rule". TNS has developed its own RDD sample generation capabilities based on using contact telephone numbers from responders to random probability or random location face to face surveys, such as Eurobarometer, as seed numbers. The approach works because the seed number identifies a working block of telephone numbers and reduces the volume of numbers generated that will be ineffective. The seed numbers are stratified by NUTS2 region and urbanisation to approximate a geographically representative sample. From each seed number the required sample of numbers are generated by randomly replacing the last two digits. The sample is then screened against business databases in order to exclude as many of these numbers as possible before going into field. This approach is consistent across all countries. For each country a comparison between the sample and the universe was carried out. The Universe description was derived from Eurostat population data or from national statistics offices. For all countries surveyed, a national weighting procedure, using marginal and intercellular weighting, was carried out based on this Universe description. In all countries, gender, age, region and size of locality were introduced in the iteration procedure. For international weighting (i.e. EU averages), TNS Political & Social applies the official population figures as provided by EUROSTAT or national statistic offices. The total population figures for input in this post-weighting procedure are listed above. TS1
14 Readers are reminded that survey results are estimations, the accuracy of which, everything being equal, rests upon the sample size and upon the observed percentage. With samples of about 1,000 interviews, the real percentages vary within the following confidence limits: Statistical Margins due to the sampling process (at the 95% level of confidence) various sample sizes are in rows various observed results are in columns 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 95% 90% 85% 80% 75% 70% 65% 60% 55% 50% N=50 6,0 8,3 9,9 11,1 12,0 12,7 13,2 13,6 13,8 13,9 N=50 N=500 1,9 2,6 3,1 3,5 3,8 4,0 4,2 4,3 4,4 4,4 N=500 N=1000 1,4 1,9 2,2 2,5 2,7 2,8 3,0 3,0 3,1 3,1 N=1000 N=1500 1,1 1,5 1,8 2,0 2,2 2,3 2,4 2,5 2,5 2,5 N=1500 N=2000 1,0 1,3 1,6 1,8 1,9 2,0 2,1 2,1 2,2 2,2 N=2000 N=3000 0,8 1,1 1,3 1,4 1,5 1,6 1,7 1,8 1,8 1,8 N=3000 N=4000 0,7 0,9 1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5 1,5 1,5 1,5 N=4000 N=5000 0,6 0,8 1,0 1,1 1,2 1,3 1,3 1,4 1,4 1,4 N=5000 N=6000 0,6 0,8 0,9 1,0 1,1 1,2 1,2 1,2 1,3 1,3 N=6000 N=7000 0,5 0,7 0,8 0,9 1,0 1,1 1,1 1,1 1,2 1,2 N=7000 N=7500 0,5 0,7 0,8 0,9 1,0 1,0 1,1 1,1 1,1 1,1 N=7500 N=8000 0,5 0,7 0,8 0,9 0,9 1,0 1,0 1,1 1,1 1,1 N=8000 N=9000 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,9 0,9 1,0 1,0 1,0 1,0 N=9000 N= ,4 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,9 0,9 1,0 1,0 1,0 N=10000 N= ,4 0,6 0,7 0,7 0,8 0,9 0,9 0,9 0,9 0,9 N=11000 N= ,4 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,9 0,9 0,9 0,9 N=12000 N= ,4 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,8 0,9 0,9 N=13000 N= ,4 0,5 0,6 0,7 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,8 0,8 0,8 N=14000 N= ,3 0,5 0,6 0,6 0,7 0,7 0,8 0,8 0,8 0,8 N= % 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% 45% 50% 95% 90% 85% 80% 75% 70% 65% 60% 55% 50% TS2
