Children of self-employed parents are often self-employed later in life. Dr. Stefan Schneck presented this in his presentation at the EBES Conference in Rome in mid-April. But self-employed fathers and mothers socialise their children in different ways. Self-employed mothers, for example, tend to interfere less in their daughters‘ affairs – quite in contrast to self-employed fathers and their sons.
Parental interference, however, can have a negative effect on the self-perception of sons’ entrepreneurial abilities.
