Author(s): Alka Singh Bhatt

Research studies published in past on the subject of entrepreneurship training has reported equivocal results. This served as a motivation for this study to conduct meta- analysis of studies published in the last decade. Using psychometric meta-analysis 44 studies were included in this study. The study provides quantitative evidence by assessing the literature related to entrepreneurship education and the results suggest a positive association between entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurship intentions and other related outcomes. It was found that overall entrepreneurship education though has a small correlation coefficient but was statistically significant (correlation coefficient=0.221). The findings of the study provide several implications for those who are engaged in designing entrepreneurship education programs and policy makers.
