Promotion of youth entrepreneurship is increasingly regarded by many
decision makers as a means to reduce youth unemployment, but also as a way
to close the gap between demand and supply of skills in the light of a rapid
technological change.
In most of the countries of the region, governmental structures created
to promote youth employment and entrepreneurship are relatively new, and
there is an obvious need to asses the result of implementation of Government
policies and measures, as well as numerous private and non-governmental
initiatives, targeting youth.
The UNECE two year programme is focusing on promoting youth
entrepreneurship within the framework of a larger programme component, such
as Industrial Restructuring, Enterprise Development and
Entrepreneurship. Within this framework, youth entrepreneurship is seen as a
means of alleviating the risk of poverty in declining industrial areas, as
well as means of utilizing the potential of young people in developing new
and high value industrial activities in such regions
