The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of the global Entrepreneurship Index in the employment of industry, services and agriculture sectors in selected countries using the method of discriminant analysis in 2018. For this purpose, using the K-means cluster analysis method, the countries were categorized into two groups. The countries of the first group were the countries with low levels in terms of average employment in industry, services and agriculture, and the countries of the second group were countries with high levels in terms of average employment in these three sectors. The results of discriminant analysis showed that the entrepreneurship index is the second most effective variable in employment after the share of value added of services and agriculture in GDP. Also, with the promotion of the Global Entrepreneurship Index, which is a symbol of the health of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, employment in the agricultural and service sectors of the countries in the second group will increase.
