A chapter in Brazilian Entrepreneurship, 2022, pp 11-25 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we call attention to the research gaps that circumvent microentrepreneurship in Brazil and which motivate applied research at the Center of Microentrepreneurship (NUME) at PUC-Rio. Founded in 2019, the goals of NUME are to understand growth potential and growth enablers for microentrepreneurs to advance sustainable economic development and social change. Among the research topics we highlight: the process of resilience building, the outcome of human capital inequalities, the impact of gender, resource constraints, and boundary conditions under which entrepreneurial activity emerges and can thrive under different conditions and regional contexts in Brazil.
