The Territorial Economic Impact of Entrepreneurial Youthfulness

摘要

Entrepreneurship generates opportunities for professional development, social and economic integration, the maintenance of the rural population, and the attraction of new residents to these territories. Young entrepreneurs face more than financial constraints, as local economic conditions and their risk aversion are important barriers to engage in entrepreneurial activities. To achieve greater rates of entrepreneurship amongst rural youths, policy should mold the value system of the community in general, and not exclusively that of young adults.
