Youth initiative. A framework for youth entrepreneurship – Study

The scope of this study was to provide the European Committee of the Regions (CoR) with background information and analysis on how youth entrepreneurship was promoted and boosted by local and regional authorities (LRAs).

This scope was reflected in three main research questions:

+ Which are the background conditions justifying the policy focus on youth entrepreneurship and influencing the participation of young people in the labour market?

+ Which are the main measures adopted by LRAs to promote and boost youth entrepreneurship at the territorial level?

+ Which are the main challenges and needs faced by LRAs in the promotion of youth entrepreneurship?
