A bivariate analysis was made between the dependent variable “theintention to undertake their own business ”with respect to the independent variables that relate to sociodemographic information, psychosocial and economic causes of emigration. Pearson’s chi-square test was used,and the variables were adjustedto a binary logistic regression model.
