Abstract
In this study, based on a representative sample of 1000 respondents, we analyzed the attitude of active population in the Republic of Macedonia toward continuous learning and new communication technologies. Starting from the definition that learning is a process of creation of a relatively permanent change in attitude towards the future, for the promotion of the way of thinking and as a special importance, the attitude of the active population toward continuous learning occurs. A positive attitude toward learning is the basic premise for the introduction of lifelong learning in entrepreneurship development. Attitude toward new communication technologies is also important as for the continuous learning as well for start up, sustainability and gaining a competitive advantage in the entrepreneurial businesses. First, we analyzed the correlation between the preferences of autonomous work, technology and continuous learning, then, the differences derived from age, ethnicity, education, and socioeconomic status. The results show that there is a correlation between the preferences of autonomous work, new technology and continuous learning. The results allow creation of specific approach to formal and informal education for improving of the entrepreneurial mindset.
