Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Entrepreneurship is increasingly recognized as a critical driver of economic development, job creation, and innovation. Recent research has shown that individual demographic factors, particularly gender and family background, play an influential role in shaping entrepreneurial intentions. This study aims to explore the effects of various demographic variables, including gender, age, and the father’s occupation, on entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, it seeks to identify how family support, particularly from entrepreneurial fathers, impacts individuals’ motivations to pursue entrepreneurship. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis based on a quantitative survey conducted among 140 participants, offering significant insights into how gender and family environments affect entrepreneurial choices.
