YOUTH ENTREPRENEURSHIP: FROM FORMATION TO FUNCTIONING

Abstract

The legislative and applied problems of implementing youth policy in Ukraine are clarified. Using a comparative method of researching legislative norms on the formation and development of youth, it is concluded that during all the years of Ukraine's independence, this was a priority task of all state authorities. It is noted that not always enough measures are taken to effectively achieve the result. Comparing statistical data on youth employment in different years, it is concluded that the level of employment remains the same. The level of entrepreneurial activity among young people is also not high. It is argued that the legislative establishment of the need for professional training of young people to carry out entrepreneurial activity, as well as the available financial support for its initiation, are important components in the formation of youth entrepreneurship. Based on the analysis of various educational platforms, such as the National Online School, Prometheus, EdEra, «Build Your Own», Krok Business School and others, the need to systematize educational programs, to divide them into basic and advanced ones, is proven. That will allow young entrepreneurs to easily find the necessary information not only by content, but also by complexity. It is argued that government and international grant programs relate to supporting the establishment of entrepreneurial activity. At the same time, the first years of entrepreneurial activity are ignored, which is an additional obstacle. It is proven that in the conditions of war, the popularization of social youth entrepreneurship, which aims to achieve a social goal, and only then to make a profit, is of special importance for both youth and society.
