The facilitators of the six regions the survey covered met in Baia Mare (Romania) in July The outcomes of these working group activities in 2009 will be the basis for focusing the activities of the group in 2010 and beyond. Given the small sample size, it is very difficult to generate information on regional differences from this research. Therefore, continuing and extending the research to other countries is one of the main future objectives of the working group. 4
5 II. Summary of Results 1. National policy and governance A majority of 10 organizations out of 12 stated that young entrepreneurs enjoy equal opportunities in comparison to other groups in their countries. 8 organizations stated that specific opportunities for young entrepreneurs aiming to foster youth entrepreneurship exist in their countries. 8 organizations stated that a national strategy on youth entrepreneurship promotion exists in their countries. The majority of these respondents assess these strategies as being medium to very effective. In 9 of the 11 countries covered by the research, national programs such as training, financial support, and business support organizations targeting young entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs are in place. Respondents rate their effectiveness as medium. Medium to very effective are the programs of international development organizations. International development organizations operate in 10 of the 11 countries. 2. Main barriers to youth entrepreneurship Main obstacles to youth entrepreneurship identified by the research include the following: o Lack of financing o Lack of experiences in entrepreneurship o Absence of a supportive network and social capital o Lack of information about the opportunities of entrepreneurship among young people o Lack of knowledge about how to start and run a business among young people o Lack of confidence o Lack of appropriate premises o Common local perception that youth should not run their own businesses 3. Strategies to overcome barriers Respondents recommend the following four areas as most relevant for overcoming barriers to youth entrepreneurship: o Financial support programs o Youth entrepreneurship networks and youth role models 5
6 o Legal framework and programs supporting youth entrepreneurship o Capacity building and human resources development Further recommendations include the following: o Ensuring governmental support for youth Entrepreneurs o Ensuring international support for youth Entrepreneurs o Identifying local champions to develop and manage appropriate programs o Sharing of knowledge via a network of experts o Assuring a greater entrepreneurship-oriented component in the national education system 4.
