dc.description.abstractThe immigration crisis in Europe and the challenges of social and economic integration of immigrants has become a relevant subject to advanced economies. This communication aims to enhance the knowledge base about the immigrant’s entrepreneurial propensity. To explore this topic the paper examines the gender, age, education, área of study and previous experience of immigrants in Portugal, assesses the individual’s entrepreneurial propensity, and evaluates whether that propensity is related to the immigrant’s characteristics. The paper uses a quantitative approach, based on an online survey sent to immigrants whose hosting country is Portugal. The data collection process was carried out between March and September 2020 and the final sample considered for analysis was 100. The results show that many immigrants have already launched their own businesses, and most of them intend to do it in the future. The effective propensity to invest is mainly influenced by gender and age while the potential entrepreneurial intention is independent of the immigrants' characteristics. The results suggest that gender (men) and age (middle-aged) lead to an effective propensity to invest. Therefore, policymakers can increase economic activities by developing and deploying specific programs according to immigrants’ demographics in order to encourage them to launch new ventures. This study brings new empirical data to examine the level of association between the effective propensity to invest and the potential entrepreneurial intention with some personal factors of the immigrants in Portugal. It theoretically conceptualizes that immigrants of certain gender and age are more predispose to invest.pt_PT
