The study isbased on a quantitative approach, made with secondary data of 853 municipalities of Minas Geraisstate and on an empirical study with 50 entrepreneurs of Pouso Alegre city. The data were analyzedusing descriptive and multivariate statistical techniques. The main results show positives correlationsamong the entrepreneurs that opted for MEI program, with levels of income and local development,and presented negative correlation with unemployment levels.
