Diagnóstico y políticas de promoción del emprendimiento en estudiantes

Title: Assessment and promotion policies of entrepreneurship in students. Abstract: The increasing need for socio-economical and educative measures, targeting the development of an entrepreneurship culture, makes essential the accurate definition of the construct. This, together with a measure to provide a baseline of students' entrepreneurship would facilitate the assessment of European and state government policies and interven- tions. The aim of the study is to provide an understanding of the entrepre- neurial attitudes in the Spanish educative context, from which the imple- mentation and assessment of entrepreneurship culture and education pro- grams could be developed. 524 students (267 high school and 257 universi- ty students) answered the Entrepreneurship Attitudes Scale. Descriptive statistics and parametric and non-parametric multivariate analyses of vari- ance were developed, including gender and educational stage as independ- ent variables. Results showed differences between genders on some entre- preneurship dimensions, and also offered criteria values for future research and interventions in the field. Implications of this work are related to the current political context.
