ABSTRACT

This chapter presents the theoretical-methodological foundation of analysis and compares the distribution of creative, constrained problem solver and Taylorized workplaces by different country groups. The Taylorized workers are located at the other extreme of the scale. The chapter focuses on the relation between occupational groups, main sectors of activity and types of job by country groups. It also focuses on the relation between the types of workers by country groups and the countries' position in the Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index (GEDI) Rank. 'Entrepreneurship' frequently became the last resort miracle tool for European policy makers without solid empirical evidences. The share of creative workers strongly and positively correlates with the share of opportunity entrepreneurs, and at the same time shows strong and negative correlation with the share of necessity entrepreneurs. The chapter also describes the share of different types of jobs by occupational groups.
