Business education has gained attention in Europe, demonstrating its effectiveness in business success. However, gender differences persist, affecting female entrepreneurship and initiatives in rural areas. This study focuses on Andalusia, addressing the conditions for entrepreneurship and analysing the role of education, the gender gap, the potential origin from rural areas, and possible economic support. The results have been compared, where possible, with the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM). Primary and secondary education do not adequately foster an entrepreneurial culture. Vocational training receives better evaluations but remains insufficient. Universities show efforts, but their effectiveness is limited. In rural areas, entrepreneurial opportunities are scarce, and women face more obstacles. Public and private support is perceived as moderately accessible, being more favourable towards university students. Overall, the system is found to be inadequate, making it crucial to strengthen support programs and promote an entrepreneurial culture from early education with attention to gender, fostering a cultural shift towards gender equity in the business field.
