THE ROLE OF ENTREPRENEURSHİP İN ECONOMİC DEVELOPMENT AND PROBLEMS OF UNİVERSİTY YOUTH İN THE FİELD OF ENTREPRENEURSHİP

Economic development refers to the sustained, concerted actions of policymakers and communities aimed at improving the economic well-being and quality of life for a region's inhabitants. It encompasses various aspects such as increasing income levels, reducing poverty, creating job opportunities, and enhancing infrastructure and institutional capacity. Key components of economic development strategies often include fostering entrepreneurship and innovation, attracting investments, improving education and healthcare systems, and promoting sustainable development practices. Additionally, economic development efforts frequently focus on addressing inequalities and promoting inclusive growth to ensure that benefits are shared equitably across society. Successful economic development requires collaboration among government agencies, private sector entities, civil society organizations, and local communities. It involves setting clear goals, implementing targeted policies and programs, and continuously monitoring and evaluating progress. Moreover, economic development initiatives must be tailored to the specific needs and circumstances of each region, taking into account factors such as natural resources, demographic trends, and global economic dynamics. Entrepreneurship plays a critical role in economic development, driving innovation, job creation and sustainable growth. Entrepreneurs not only form new companies, but also develop and implement new ideas, technologies and management methods, which contribute to increased efficiency and competitiveness. Their activities help expand markets, stimulate competition and create favorable conditions for economic recovery. Entrepreneurship is also a key source of new jobs. The creation of enterprises leads to an increase in the need for labor, which in turn helps to reduce unemployment and increase the level of employment in society. Small and medium enterprises, often started by entrepreneurs, are particularly important in this context as they are catalysts for the growth and development of local economies. Moreover, entrepreneurship contributes to the distribution of wealth and social mobility. Self-employed entrepreneurs can act as drivers of social change by supporting community and charitable initiatives. Thus, they influence not only the economic landscape, but also social and cultural aspects, contributing to the diversity and development of society as a whole. However, despite the importance of entrepreneurship, young people, especially university students, face a number of challenges when trying to get involved in this field. One of the main problems is the lack of information and understanding of the processes of creating and running a business. University curricula do not always cover entrepreneurship sufficiently, which can create a barrier for students wanting to start their own business. Financial constraints also play a role in limiting entrepreneurial opportunities for university youth. Young entrepreneurs often find it difficult to obtain financing for their projects, as banks and investors may view them as high-risk clients. Additionally, students may lack the experience and professional skills necessary to successfully manage a business. Lack of practical experience and skills in marketing, human resources and finance can be a barrier in the path of young entrepreneurs. To solve these problems, it is necessary to make changes to university curricula, including teaching entrepreneurial skills, as well as creating special programs and support measures for students who want to engage in entrepreneurship. Networking with successful entrepreneurs, providing access to financial resources and creating infrastructure for start-ups can also help promote entrepreneurship among university youth. Overall, youth entrepreneurship development is an important factor for sustainable economic growth. Supporting and stimulating young entrepreneurs can lead to the emergence of innovative projects, new jobs and enrichment of society as a whole.

Work Motivation Women Entrepreneurs in Islamic Economic Perspective

Population growth which continues to increase every year will cause many problems, one of which is the lack of job opportunities, as a result the number of unemployed is increasing which has an impact on economic conditions in Indonesia. Therefore, economic development will be more successful if it is supported by entrepreneurs who can create job opportunities. Entrepreneurship is not only dominated by men but also the emancipation of women. Women who choose to become entrepreneurs certainly have their own reasons why they made the decision to become entrepreneurs. This research aims to determine the background that motivates women to engage in entrepreneurial activities and to determine the Islamic economic perspective related to the work motivation of entrepreneurial women in the Simpang Kandis area, Sumber Jaya Village, Kampung Melayu District, Bengkulu City. This research uses a qualitative descriptive approach using field research. The research results show that women's work motivation in entrepreneurship in Simpang Kandis is caused by several factors, including economic needs, encouragement from the family, and available market potential. In an Islamic economic perspective, women are permitted to engage in entrepreneurship outside the home, but this must be accompanied by permission or blessing from their husband or parents. Apart from that, they are also expected not to neglect their household duties and become entrepreneurs with the aim of meeting their daily needs. However, this research also shows that women involved in entrepreneurship have not fully implemented the values recommended by Islam. Even though they have good intentions, piety in their work, and sincerity in their work, they are not yet fully transparent in selling their products to consumers regarding the quality of their merchandise. Apart from that, a friendly attitude towards buyers is also lacking. This research indicates that there is potential to increase the suitability of women's entrepreneurial practices with Islamic values in the Simpang Kandis area. However, further efforts are needed to improve the understanding and implementation of these values in their entrepreneurial practices.

Soil and Roots Nematodes of Banana (Musa sapientum L.) in Otuoke Community, Bayelsa State, Nigeria

Banana (Musa sapientum L.) cultivation in rural communities creates job opportunities and generates income. Soil nematodes, a major pest, can lead to yield loss and financial loss. To ensure sustainable production and food security, it's crucial to survey potential threats and identify incumbent nematode species. Identifying these species can help develop effective pest management strategies. A survey was carried out to determine the potential nematode species of threat to banana production in Otuoke community, Bayelsa State. The random sampling technique was employed and soil and roots from two banana mono-cultured vegetations were tested. The modified sieve plate technique was used for nematode extraction and nematode pictorial key was employed for nematode identification to genera level. A total of 438 nematodes representing 8 genera were identified, among which 51.4% occurred in farm 1 and 48.6% were reported from farm 2. Nematodes of significant economic interest reported in this survey were Meloidogyne species (23.1%), Pratylenchus species (18.5%), Ditylenchus species (15.3%), Helicotylenchus species (10.0%), Hemicyclophora species (9.8%), Rotylenchus species (9.1%), Radopholus species (8.4%) and Paratylenchus species (5.7%). The occurrence of nematodes against farm types displayed disparities which was indicative that nematodes survival strategy depends on the prevailing field conditions. The study revealed that nematodes compose a prominent pest group infesting banana in Otuoke and should be checked to ameliorate food security.

Exploring the socio-economic impacts of community based rehabilitated watersheds: an experience from Wera district, Ethiopia

ABSTRACT In developing countries, research evidence on the socio-economic impact is a crucial issue in motivating and encouraging community-based restoration of degraded watershed ecosystems. This paper focuses on exploring the socio-economic impacts of rehabilitating a watershed area in two villages (kebeles) using two independently pooled cross-sectional data sets. 240 households were selected at random to provide the data. Half of the households (120) were randomly chosen from the records of the rural land and agricultural development office in 2007 and the other half (120) were randomly selected and interviewed in 2022 using semi-structured questionnaires. Our results show that the contribution of the restored area to the economy of the local communities dramatically increased between 2007 and 2022. The main economic activities encountered in the restored area are fuelwood collection, the harvesting of construction wood, collecting grasses, and harvesting fodder, which are practiced by 75%, 68%, 59% and 41% of sampled households in 2022, respectively, while the same activities were practiced by 5%, 0%, 0%, and 2.5% households in 2007, respectively. Rehabilitation intervention also created job opportunities, and strengthened social networking among local households. These findings can help government and non-government stakeholders those implement ecosystem restoration by enhancing community-based rehabilitation of watersheds.

Digital technology, labor allocation, and nutrition intake: Evidence from China

This paper examines the impact of digital technologies on nutritional intake in less developed regions. The theoretical analysis suggests that the development of digital technologies improves labor allocation efficiency and increases individual income, thereby affecting nutritional intake. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), we find that adopting digital technologies significantly increases the likelihood of protein consumption among rural residents. This adoption has facilitated better labor allocation by creating job opportunities and promoting non-agricultural employment, leading to increased income and improved nutrition for rural populations. Further analysis reveals that access to digital technology plays a more crucial role in enhancing nutritional intake for individuals with low education levels and low incomes, indicating its potential to bridge the digital divide in terms of nutrition. Our study offers a fresh perspective on how less developed regions can leverage digital technology more equitably.
