Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the sociodemographic features of young entrepreneurs in Mexico in order to identify their profile; it will also conduct research on whether entrepreneurial activity sets up a mechanism for successful integration into the labor market or, where applicable, it is a form of survival in the absence of employment opportunities. To this end, it incorporates the elements given by a set of theoretical and empirical aspects, the construction of an analytical frame work based on data from the National Survey of Occupation and Employment of 2016, as well as the Multiple Correspondence Analysis method. The results show that, to some extent, the ideal situation of the entrepreneurship set out under the theoretical precepts is refuted; in the case of young Mexicans, for example, this research proves that entrepreneurial activity emerges more as a form of survival rather than a way to exploit the environment for business, personal motivation and physical and intellectual capacities.
