Sažetak
In the present study, several logit models were tested to identify
the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention among the youth of
Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Specifically, we explore whether
demographic and socio-economic characteristic or whether perceptions
of education curriculum and social and political engagement
as well as the perception of media influence have an
impact on the intention to start one’s own business. Data analysis
was done on a sample of 3,611 young people. Education level
and perception of the standard of living have an impact on the
attitude towards self-employment. In addition, the perception of
education curriculum and parents support in education is linked
with the entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, some campaigns
of social and political engagement are significant predictors of
the propensity towards starting the business. Finally, the perception
of media influence impacts entrepreneurial intention positively.
The findings have important implications for policymakers
and universities.
