Abstract

In Latin America, entrepreneurship is affected by economic instability, lack of investment, poor policies and social inequalities. The study applied a mixed approach, with a documentary review in the area of regional entrepreneurship, on the policies and incentives applied in Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Ecuador. In addition, indicators from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor were compared with a Pearson correlation study to identify the region's behavior. Concluding that there is a movement for the leverage of entrepreneurship, however, in some countries there is no technical and economic support, preventing the sustained growth of enterprises.
