Abstract
Intention for entrepreneurship has received considerable attention unquestionably, as it has a substantial positive personal, economic, and social impact in responding to unemployment in developing countries. Sri Lanka is a country that appreciates democracy; even though all related to the age limit of 15-29 years should be included in the employment rates without discrimination, the contribution of people with impairments has reached a significant minimum level in Sri Lanka. This study examines the impact of personal and socioeconomic factors on the entrepreneurial intention of the differently abled young crowd in Sri Lanka. The explanatory research method was used on 134 differentlyabled youngers from the Kurunegala district using the convenience sampling technique. The data was collected using a self-administrated questionnaire and analyzed using Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis to test the hypotheses. The results highlighted that self-efficacy, self-employment, the role of family support, entrepreneurial education, and skill development significantly positively impact entrepreneurial intention. The practical value of this research holds significance for scholars and governmental and non-governmental decision-makers, as it encourages entrepreneurial endeavors among differently abled youngers.
