Social factors influencing students' attitudes towards entrepreneurship during their studies

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the influence of social factors on the formation of entrepreneurial attitudes among students in the process of their education. The study conducted three main empirical analyses covering various aspects of the social environment. The research results have shown that the presence of entrepreneurs in the family and a high level of family income significantly increase the entrepreneurial intentions and self-efficacy of students. The support of friends and access to startup financing have also proved the importance for the development of entrepreneurial intentions. Based on the data obtained, practical recommendations were developed to improve educational programs aimed at developing entrepreneurial qualities among students. The article suggests specific measures, such as the inclusion of entrepreneurial courses in curricula, the development of mentoring and consulting systems, as well as the creation of a favorable entrepreneurial environment in universities. The final part of the article discusses the prospects for further research, including the study of the long-term effects of entrepreneurial education, the impact of digital technologies and cultural differences in entrepreneurial activity. These areas of research will help the better understanding of the mechanisms of formation of entrepreneurial attitudes and to develop more effective educational strategies for future entrepreneurs.
