LA EDUCACIÓN UNIVERSITARIA EN EL ROL DEL EMPRENDIMIENTO EN LOS ESTUDIANTES UNIVERSITARIOS DEL ECUADOR

Abstract

In this research, we analyzed the factors that lead to the success of university students in Ecuador from a perspective of education either received or achieved, and whether access to higher education is a guarantee or not at the time of undertaking. The indicators were based on the study issued by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and the Economic Commission for Latin America, which sought to understand entrepreneurship as a fundamental part of university education. A qualitative order was maintained by means of the description of the entrepreneurship - higher education variables; maintaining a descriptive approach, in order to understand the factors that consider the most relevant indicators at the level of the generation of university ventures. It is concluded that within the Ecuadorian context, the lowest motivational index of the region is observed, given the great fear of citizens towards being able to undertake and the fact that having access to higher education is not a guarantee of success in the undertakings. Furthermore, these multiple projects are not very innovative and rather repetitive ideas; which, combined with the different barriers at the micro and macro levels, further reduces the rate of early entrepreneurship.
