“…The MaleSex variable (categorical variable for male students) also presented a positive and statistically significant parameter, with the beta value varying between 0.282 and 0.302 among the five models. Thus, males are approximately 30 percentage points more likely than females to become entrepreneurs, being in line with Giménez-Nadal et al (2022) and Moreno-Gómez et al (2022), who identified greater effects for sons than for daughters.…”

The intergenerational transmission is one of the key variables that shape entrepreneurship as an occupational choice. However, the role of gender is still a gap in the literature on intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurial behavior. Thus, this study aims to assess the effect of gender homophily in the intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurial behavior. The sample was composed of 10,889 students from the Federal Institute of Technology of Rio Grande do Norte. The probit regression method was applied to measure the probability of an individual becoming an entrepreneur if they are born of an entrepreneurial father or mother. The results show that being an offspring of an entrepreneurial father or entrepreneurial mother is associated with an increase in the probability of an individual becoming an entrepreneur. Moreover, the transmission is increased when the entrepreneurial parent and the offspring share the same gender.

“…However, although Western countries are advancing toward a gender stance in which feminist values of equality, community or participation emerge to define leadership styles and behaviors (Humphreys, 2013), gender bias still exists. A common phenomenon in many developing countries is their high level of “masculinity” (Franco and Piceti, 2018) and hostile institutional systems for women (Moreno-Gómez et al ., 2022; Welsh et al , 2018). Our review identifies gender-based stereotypes that create barriers to women’s leadership, leading to their under-representation in upper-echelon positions and little influence on decision-making processes.…”

Purpose This study aims to underline the importance of addressing gender issues in family firms. It reinvigorates research in this field by revealing its current state, identifying research gaps and suggesting future agendas. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric approach using a co-word analysis of 376 papers from the Web of Science database and their 885 keywords was performed to reveal the thematic structure of gender and family firm research, research topics, associations among them and their evolution over the last 30 years (1991–2021). Findings This review provides an extensive literature base and suggests research topics that facilitate the adoption of a gendered lens in family firm literature and business practice. Research limitations/implications This review demonstrates how gender issues are intertwined with management, leadership and family firm approaches. Our observations inform scholars, policymakers and practitioners on the need to integrate gender issues into organizational culture and to connect empowerment strategies with the sociocultural environment. Originality/value This study shows the need to address women’s empowerment in business, considering different sociocultural contexts in addition to a Western focus. It also calls for embracing gender and feminist perspectives in research.

“…Studies on intergenerational mobility of occupational choices have shown that children of entrepreneurial or self-employed parents are likelier to become entrepreneurs or self-employed (Hoffmann et al, 2015;Moreno-G omez et al, 2020Moreno-G omez et al, , 2022. The reasons are that children of self-employed parents may: (a) gain relevant experience by working in their parents' business which may prepare them to start their own business (i.e.…”

PurposeThis study examines the relationships between parents' and children's occupations to determine the existence of intergenerational transmission of occupations.Design/methodology/approachTo achieve the purpose of the study, four predominant occupational types based on the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO): agriculture and forestry; services and sales; managerial/administrative; and professional/technical are examined using data from the latest (7th) round of the Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS). Two complementary methods involving the correlational analysis and regression-based techniques are used.FindingsThe findings indicate the presence of parental influences on children's occupational choices (same-sex and cross-sex) in the Ghanaian labour market, with maternals and same-sector effects having a more substantial influence on children's occupational choices, especially in agriculture and forestry, and services and sales sectors.Research limitations/implicationsThe lack of panel data in observing children's occupational choices over time makes it challenging to assume direct causation.Originality/valueThe study is the first to highlight the relative strengths of paternal influence (father's effect) and maternal impact (mother's effect) on sons' and daughters' occupational choices in Africa. The findings have several implications for intergenerational (im)mobility of occupations including how policymakers can make career guidance more effective.Peer reviewThe peer-review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-10-2022-0705
