Young people have started to instill an entrepreneurial spirit since attending school by incorporating entrepreneurial lessons and practices in school. It is intended that after completing education in school, every student has the viewpoint of creating jobs that can support their needs and does not always have the view of working as an employee, both civil servants and private employees. The problem we are facing is that the unemployment rate is getting higher every day and generally after completing their education most of the students become unemployed because there are very few jobs and lack of costs to continue their education to a higher level. This study aims to determine the effect of entrepreneurial characteristics and self-efficacy on entrepreneurial decisions among Madrasah Aliyah students.
