Sumario:The objective of this essay is to verify the models of female entrepreneurship in Brazil and in its five regions based on models of occupational choice, using the microdata of the National Household Sample Survey (PNAD) of the year 2015. The greatest challenge related to this theme and is what is one of the factors that lead a woman to the option of becoming or not entrepreneurial. The individual decision-making procedure considers different factors, social, demographic and regional. The empirical strategy adopted was a probit model for estimating occupational choice. The results suggest that there are positive effects for a probability of the entrepreneurial woman as variables: race, age, years of initial studies, head of household, age of children, how to be a returning immigrant and hours dedicated to household chores.
