Abstract

Entrepreneurship is considered as an important instrument in job creation and economic development. Several factors such as parental education, could shape an individual’s intention to pursue entrepreneurial activities. This study investigated the influence of parental education on their child’s intention to pursue entrepreneurial activities, addressing a gap in family dynamics and vocational aspirations research. Based on the prevalent literature and empirical evidence, this study examined the link between parental education and the child’s intention to pursue entrepreneurial activities. The findings revealed that having either a literate or illiterate parent, had no significant effect on the child’s intention to pursue entrepreneurial activities. These insights would help shape strategies to cultivate and nurture as well as strengthen the entrepreneurial environment.
