Abstract
Entrepreneurship society is a reflection
of profuse changes in
individuals’ attitude including
career choices and the social
contract. These changes emanate
from the demographic factors
of society. The US witnessed
a massive change in people’s attitude
and demography in the
early 1960s. As a result, the US
transformed itself into a leading
entrepreneurial society. We address
the question: can the demographic
features of India explain
its aspiration to be an entrepreneurial
society in comparison
with the other leading entrepreneurial
societies in the world?
We examine country-level demographic
data for seven selected
countries. Findings indicate that
India’s demographic factors do
not correspond to the same features
as that of highly entrepreneurial
societies.
