Abstract

Purpose: Social media use has become pervasive in the lives of students in both academic and nonacademic activities. This study aimed to assess the influence of social media use on the entrepreneurial intention of final-year students of the Higher National Diploma (HND) final year students of Accra Technical University (ATU). Research Methodology: The study used a descriptive research methodology that adopted a quantitative research approach; with a population of HND final-year students, data were gathered from 200 respondents through questionnaires. Purposive sampling was used to select participants for the study. The data received from the respondents were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics using IBM SPSS Statistics 24. Results: The results showed that students were very active on social media and found it very useful. Five-year students considered entrepreneurship a career choice after school.  The results also indicated that social media use had a significant direct effect on students’ entrepreneurial intention. Limitations: This study focused on social media use as a determinant of entrepreneurial intention, and was limited to final-year HND students. Contribution: Tertiary institutions, as part of entrepreneurship education, should allow students to explore the use of social media to advance the entrepreneurship drive as this increases entrepreneurial intention. Practical Implications: Educators must inculcate the use of social media in practical activities during entrepreneurship education. Future research should examine how specific social media sites contribute to improving entrepreneurial intention among final-year students in tertiary institutions. Novelty: This study examined social media as a factor influencing students’ entrepreneurial intentions.

Abstract

Purpose: This review examines the global progress and challenges of gender mainstreaming in development from 1999–2024. It evaluates how gender perspectives have been integrated into policy, institutional frameworks, and sectoral development efforts to achieve gender equality and sustainable development outcomes. Research Methodology: This study employs a systematic literature review to analyze scholarly articles, policy reports, and institutional documents. It categorizes findings based on policy frameworks, institutional mechanisms, sectoral impacts, and regional variations, while drawing insights from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, and North America. Results: The review identified significant progress in adopting gender-sensitive policies and institutional mechanisms worldwide. However, challenges persist, including policy implementation gaps, sociocultural barriers, inadequate funding, and varying regional effectiveness. While some regions have advanced gender equality in governance and economic participation, others still face systemic constraints on women’s participation. Conclusions: Although significant strides have been made in integrating gender perspectives into development frameworks since 1999, persistent structural and institutional challenges continue to hinder the full realization of gender equality and sustainable development goals. Limitations: This study did not account for the detailed country-specific challenges of all countries worldwide. Contribution: The findings highlight the need for more intersectional and localized gender-mainstreaming strategies, stronger monitoring and evaluation systems, and enhanced collaboration among stakeholders to bridge policy-practice gaps.
