La transmisión intergeneracional de la actividad emprendedora en las familias españolas

Ferrando-Latorre, Sandra and Velilla, Jorge (2018): La transmisión intergeneracional de la actividad emprendedora en las familias españolas.

Abstract

Este trabajo estudia la influencia de la actividad emprendedora de los padres en sus hijos/as en España, es decir la posible existencia de transmisiones intergeneracionales de dicha actividad. Se emplearán los datos de la Encuesta Financiera de las Familias del Banco de España, para los años 2008, 2011 y 2014. Estos datos nos permiten identificar a los individuos emprendedores como todos aquellos que trabajan por cuenta propia. Las posibles transferencias intergeneracionales se estudiarán atendiendo a dos generaciones: la persona de referencia de cada familia, y sus hijos/as. En particular, este trabajo analiza qué factores determinan la actividad emprendedora de los individuos, en función de una serie de factores socio-demográficos de los propios individuos, y de sus padres. Además, se compararán los resultados obtenidos para los años 2008, 2011, y 2014, para analizar los posibles efectos de la crisis económica en el desarrollo de la actividad emprendedora. Los resultados muestran la existencia de transmisiones intergeneracionales en la actividad emprendedora de las familias españolas, especialmente a través de nivel de estudios de los padres, y de su situación laboral. Además, los resultados muestran cómo la ocupación laboral del padre/madre se transfiere a los hijos/as con más fuerza en el ámbito emprendedor.
