Abstract
Today, entrepreneurship has become one of the most important factors of development and in a multi-faceted interaction, both in the concept of creating employment, both in the concept of creating transformation through innovations and improving processes, and as a key factor in economic growth and development, it is strongly used. Attention has been paid. But for the realization and continuation of entrepreneurship, what is more important than anything else is the structural context that sometimes facilitates entrepreneurship and sometimes hinders it. Accordingly, in this research, using the comparative-quantitative method and secondary analysis, we have investigated the entrepreneurship status of 132 countries and studied macro and structural factors affecting it. For this purpose, we have used correlation, regression and analysis of variance tests. Regression analysis for 132 countries of the world shows that political factors (good governance, rule of law and democracy) and economic factors (economic freedom, property rights, perceptions of corruption), with standard coefficients of 0.401 and 0.396, are more influential than cultural factors. (values, education) and social (social trust, social network) with standard coefficients of 0.212 and 0.196. Also, regionalization and comparison of different regions of the world confirmed the above results and showed the importance of political and economic factors. For this reason, it is necessary to pay attention to political and economic factors for the development of entrepreneurship.
