Data were collected from businesses owned by women who reside within the six state capitals of Southwestern states of Nigeria. The cities are Lagos, Abeokuta, Ibadan, Oshogbo, Akure, and Ado-Ekiti.

This figure is inversely proportional to the amount of adequate employment, making Serang Regency the Regency with the highest open un-employment rate in Banten Province which reached 12.78%, this causes Banten Province to become the Province with the highest open un-employment rate in Indonesia with number 8,52% (BPS, 2018). Various efforts were made by the government to tackle un-employment in Serang Regency, one of which was the development of independent community enterprises in the form of entrepreneurship. For this reason, the study seeks to examine indicators that can influence each exogenous and endogenous variable, as well as the influence on the interest in entrepreneurship in Serang regency.
