Within the framework of potential efforts and strategies to boost employment and job creation for young people, entrepreneurship is increasingly accepted as an important means and a valuable additional strategy to create jobs and improve livelihoods and economic independence of young people. It is an innovative approach to integrating youth into today’s changing labor markets. Developing and encouraging youth entrepreneurship can:- Creating employment opportunities for self-employed youth as well as the other young people they employ;- Helping youth develop new skills and experiences that can then be applied to other challenges in life; - Promoting innovation and resilience in youth;- Capitalizing on the fact that young entrepreneurs may be particularly responsive to new economic opportunities and trends.How can we contribute to all this?
