This study investigates the influence of financial literacy, entrepreneurship training, and financial inclusion on the performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) through business sustainability. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) examines the impact of financial literacy, entrepreneurship training, and financial inclusion on MSME performance through business sustainability mediation by synthesizing empirical data from 12 research (2020–2025) across Scopus and Web of Science. Positive direct effects on sustainability (financial literacy via budgeting/risk management; training via adaptive resilience; inclusiveness via digital access) and performance metrics like profitability/growth are confirmed by results using the PRISMA 2020 flow.  Amid obstacles like financial access restrictions and COVID-19 disruptions, business sustainability appears as a crucial mediator, linking these factors to improved MSME results in developing contexts (Africa, Indonesia). Practical implications compel policymakers to give integrated literacy programs, contextual training, and inclusive finance top priority. Theoretical contributions combine financial literacy, entrepreneurial learning, and sustainability ideas into a holistic mediation model. The results highlight the importance of integrating financial education, entrepreneurial skill development, and inclusive financial systems to strengthen MSME resilience and competitiveness. This study provides practical implications for policymakers, financial institutions, and support organisations in designing effective interventions that foster sustainable business growth. The research also contributes theoretically by confirming the mediating role of business sustainability in the relationship between financial literacy, entrepreneurship training, financial inclusion, and MSME performance. Future studies may expand these insights by examining additional contextual factors such as digital technology adoption and business networking that further support sustainable MSME development.

Many young people in Indonesia have a strong interest in starting their own businesses; however, only a small portion are able to turn this interest into a sustainable entrepreneurial career. This study aims to explore in depth how family support plays a role in the journey of young entrepreneurs, from the early stages of entrepreneurial exposure to the formation of entrepreneurial identity and personal values. The research employs a qualitative method with a narrative-biographical approach. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews with the main subject and significant others who have close relationships with the subject. The data were analyzed using Braun and Clarke’s thematic analysis technique, which focuses on identifying meaning and patterns within the subject’s life experiences. The findings reveal four main themes: (1) the process of early entrepreneurial learning and exposure, (2) the role and dynamics of family support in fostering entrepreneurial resilience, (3) turning points in career transformation and the formation of entrepreneurial identity, and (4) personal principles and values that guide business practices. The results emphasize that family support is not only material but also serves as a psychological and emotional factor that plays a crucial role in the success of young entrepreneurs in building and sustaining their businesses.

This study aims to explore the role of entrepreneurship-based social studies learning in building the independent character of 5th grade elementary school students. Using a qualitative approach, this study examines the impact of implementing entrepreneurial learning in the context of social studies on the development of students' independent attitudes, social skills, and ability to innovate.
