Education, entrepreneurial intention, family entrepreneurship, managementAbstract
In recent decades, education and family entrepreneurship have attracted increasing attention within the academic community due to their crucial role in strengthening local economies and transmitting intergenerational values. This research aims to conduct a theoretical analysis of the scientific production on education and family entrepreneurship, in response to the need to understand the behavior and interrelation of these variables through a bibliometric study. The Scopus database was used with a sample of 121 scientific documents, and only articles written in English were considered for analysis. Research trends in education and family entrepreneurship focus mainly on entrepreneurial intentions as a key element and on family support as a determining factor. In addition, there is an increasing focus on basic education as a relevant and emerging phenomenon within entrepreneurship. Finally, it is observed that many ventures are managed by family members themselves.
