Entrepreneurial intentions and education: Effects on low-income students

Abstract

This paper investigates the influence of entrepreneurial education on the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and its antecedents of low-income students. It verifies the effects of entrepreneurial education as a moderating variable in the connection between intention and its antecedents. Our findings provide a theoretical contribution by showing that entrepreneurial education exerts no moderating effect on the relationship between entrepreneurial intentions and its antecedents on students coming from low-income contexts. It contributes to practitioners by highlighting the importance of entrepreneurial education curricula comprising hands-on activities which present real-life entrepreneurship situations to low-income students.
