New Mexico Business Weekly:

Slightly more than 10 percent of American adults are starting or running a new business, according to the 2006 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor.

That’s down from 12.4 percent a year ago, but within the statistical margin of error, according to GEM researchers.

In every country except the Philippines, men are more likely to start a business than women. However, the gender gap is most pronounced in high-income countries.

Individuals, ages 25 to 34, are the most likely to start new businesses; adults in the 55 to 64 age range are the least likely.

The annual GEM research project is directed by Babson College and the London Business School.
