AB Despite the abundant scientific literature on entrepreneurship, there is still only limitedinformation on young students’ entrepreneurial intentions. The reasons for this, may be generallyfound in the different conceptual approaches to entrepreneurial intention, and particularly in thevariables that regulate and act as antecedents to such intentions. This bias has generated differentlines of investigation into the factors relating to entrepreneurial intention among students. One lineof investigation is centered on the variables that influence entrepreneurial intention, in particular,relational, educational, and psychological variables, and another is centered on the antecedentsof entrepreneurial intention, amongst which is entrepreneurial interest. In this paper, we seekto analyze the relationship between the entrepreneurial interest of Spanish youth and a set ofsocio-educational, psychological, and health-related variables using principal component analysis.A previously validated ad hoc questionnaire was administered to 1764 students (15–18 years old).Notably, few Spanish youth expressed significantly high entrepreneurial interest; those who did weremostly men with a family tradition of entrepreneurial parents, who held high perceptions of theirhealth and quality of life, and considered it important in business to detect opportunities beforehandand to create employment. Their principal motives were to improve their professional development,to put their ideas into practice, and to achieve economic independence. This paper proposes the earlydetection of entrepreneurial interests in young people in order to reinforce these interests as potentiallong-term initiatives.
