Abstract

 

Entrepreneurship is a key driver of innovation and economic growth and. Understanding the motivations behind entrepreneurial activity is essential for fostering a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem. The study investigates gender-based perceptions regarding the entrepreneurial motivators - education and skills and the desire for self-employment. The analysis uses the Mann-Whitney U test to evaluate differences between male and female responses to the knowledge and skill relating to the entrepreneurial activities. The results indicate no statistically significant differences between male and female respondents on either statement, suggesting that both genders share similar views on the role of education and skills and the desire for self-employment which act as part of motivation in equipping students with entrepreneurial activity.
