Resumen

The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor reports indicate that the rate of Spanish entrepreneurship is low compared to that of other countries such as Mexico. This rate is calculated based on the percentage of the entrepreneur population over the total adult population. The objective of this paper is to analyze whether this situation is reproduced in university students. The influence of sociodemographic variables (sex, ownership of the pre-university educational center, whether the student works or not, university degree) and the environment (background of family members, educational levels of parents) on the decision to be an entrepreneur in the future, comparing two case studies: the University of La Laguna (Spain) and the University of Guadalajara (Mexico). The population analyzed is the group of students who study degrees in the branch of Social and Legal Sciences. A questionnaire is prepared that collects information on: the variables mentioned, whether or not it is decided to be an entrepreneur in the future (dependent variable) and entrepreneurial attitudes that allow for the evaluation of subjective and control aspects. The sample is of 1,102 students. The data is treated with descriptive and multivariate statistical analysis, Chi-square test and logit model. The results indicate that Mexican students are more determined to become entrepreneurs than Spanish students. The influential variables vary according to the country. Two of the variables have no influence (whether the student works or not, the mother’s educational level). For the Spanish case, the influential variables are: 1) ownership of the pre-university educational center, 2) degree, 3) educational level of the father; for the Mexican case: 1) sex, 2) degree, 3) family business.
