MAZUERA-ARIAS, Rina et al. Factors Associated with the Entrepreneurial Intention of Venezuelan Emigrants. Migr. Inter [online]. 2022, vol.13, rmiv1i12379.  Epub 17-Feb-2023. ISSN 2594-0279.  https://doi.org/10.33679/rmi.v1i1.2379.

This article analyzes the factors related to entrepreneurial intention in a sample of 4,157 Venezuelans of legal age who emigrated in 2019. It is a quantitative, non-experimental study with non-probability sampling in which a structured survey was applied. A bivariate analysis was made between the dependent variable “the intention to undertake their own business” with respect to the independent variables that relate to sociodemographic information, psychosocial and economic causes of emigration. Pearson’s chi- square test was used, and the variables were adjusted to a binary logistic regression model. Among others, the findings reveal that entrepreneurial intention is associated with family reunification and violence and insecurity in Venezuela (push factors), as well as research on opportunities and labor regulations (pull factor). Likewise, the importance of institutional support for the promotion of self-employment and formal employment is underlined.
