Jos\u00e9 Amor\u00f3s<\/a>, winner of the 2023 R\u00f3mulo Garza Award<\/a>, gathered data from over 15,000 individuals spanning the period from 2013 to 2017 across Latin American countries for a study that concluded governmental fragility in the region influences the creation of necessity-driven entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the study Necessity or Opportunity? The Effects of State Fragility and Economic Development on Entrepreneurial Efforts<\/a>,<\/em> Amor\u00f3s and his team elucidated how when a state is deemed fragile, it fails to adequately fulfill its roles, particularly in ensuring basic rights of citizens such as health, education, and housing, and how that reverberates within the entrepreneurial system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Associate Dean of faculty at EGADE Business School <\/a>also highlights the need for public policy measures to enhace entrepreneurial activity among citizens over 50 years of age<\/strong>, particularly regarding the implementation of programs that facilitate these opportunities along with the involvement of the civilian population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Mexico is an ideal laboratory to understand this type of phenomena where we are able to identify how political polarization has an impact on both the economic landscape and on the individual level of these senior entrepreneurs,” the scholar reflects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
