Impact on Entrepreneurial Intention among Women Students of Higher Education Institutions in Tamilnadu

Abstract

Every civilization needs entrepreneurship since it is the engine of employment, growth, and competitiveness. Given the significance of entrepreneurial education in the modern world, this study is pertinent. Despite the dearth of conclusive scientific research on the effects of entrepreneurship education on its participating students, the number of entrepreneurship programs is rising. The majority of research focuses on the value of entrepreneurship rather than addressing the issue of the next generation of female students who will be tomorrow's driving forces and important company leaders. This study focuses on the important variables that directly influence women students' intentions to pursue entrepreneurship through educational programs, despite the growing body of literature on the subject.

Keywords: entrepreneurship intention, attitudes, perceived behavioral control and higher education
