Abstract
Nearly a quarter of all U.S. children under the age of 18 live with one parent and no other adults (Census, 2022). The prevalence of this experience in American society tells us we should study what affects it might have on children when they become adults. The focus of this study is on better understanding the potential effects of living in a single parent household may have on the development of an entrepreneurial mindset. Many factors play a role in if a child becomes a entrepreneur, but research suggests that there are several characteristic correlated to whether an individual chooses entrepreneurship as a career path. This project conducted interviews with entrepreneurs who grew up in a single-parent and those who grew up in multi-parent households to examine what role this might play in the development of an entrepreneurial mindset.
