THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY ENVIRONMENTAL SUPPORT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP EDUCATION ON ENTREPRENEURIAL INTEREST

Abstract

Interest in entrepreneurship is an important indicator of an individual's motivation and desire to start and manage their own business. This study aims to analyze the influence of family environmental support and entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial interest among high school and university students. The research uses quantitative methods with statistical data analysis and random sampling techniques. The results show that entrepreneurship education has a positive and significant influence on entrepreneurial interest, while the influence of family environment is relatively weak. The correlation coefficient (R) value is 0.487, indicating a moderately strong relationship between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial interest. The R Square value of 0.238 indicates that entrepreneurship education explains 23.8% of the variation in entrepreneurial interest, while the remaining 76.2% is influenced by other factors. The findings provide insight into strategies for increasing entrepreneurial interest as a way to address unemployment and poverty in Indonesia.
