What definition of enterpreneur are you using?
According to [1] 14.5% of all EU workers are self-employed (i.e.: they have their own business, as small as it may be) whereas only 6.6% are in the USA.

- luckylion 4y agoI'd say "self-employed" is essentially being a contractor or owner-operator, with no or very few employees and focused on facilitating the work for themselves (and possibly their immediate family), not growth & scaling & expansion. Entrepreneurs start companies that are meant to grow beyond themselves and aren't just a legal framework to provide their work. Not to disparage anyone who's self-employed. I am too, but I wouldn't consider me an entrepreneur. I might become one, but that would mean changing my work setup.
