New entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial aspirations among immigrants from the former U.S.S.R. in Israel

Article Abstract:

The entrepreneurial activities of immigrants from the former USSR in Israel are studied. Results show that only 6.9% of immigrants are self-employed compared to 15.2% of Israeli population. About 32.4% of immigrants who are part of the work force want to be self-employed although few succeed. The factor that determines whether immigrants will become self-employed or employees are business and managerial experience acquired in the USSR.
