Taiwan’s industry is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises. Youth entrepreneurship can activate the economy. With the characteristics of creativity, high adaptability, flexibility and resilience, It can be called the driving force behind the miracle of Taiwan’s economic growth. However, what factors have created the entrepreneurial willingness of Taiwanese youth to be innovative? Is it the support of the family’s socio-economic status, the cultivation of entrepreneurship education in college, or the personality traits of entrepreneurs themselves that seek innovation and change? This study will explore how family socio-economic status affects entrepreneurial intentions through self-concept and academic achievement. A serial mediating model is used to conduct an empirical analysis on 525 public and private college students currently in school. The results show that family socioeconomic status has a significant effect on college students’ self-concept, academic achievement and entrepreneurial intention, and self-concept also has a direct impact on entrepreneurial intention. However, the serial mediating model shows that socioeconomic status can affect entrepreneurial intention through self-concept, and academic achievement does not play a mediating role in this process; that is, even better academic achievement in college will not increase entrepreneurial intentions. Entrepreneurship education in Taiwan’s universities still needs to be improved. Finally, this study provides suggestions for education policy makers to plan entrepreneurship curricula in conjunction with the “2030 Sustainable Development Goals(SDGs)” announced by the United Nations in 2015. |
