Entrepreneurship Education for Youth Employment

Description

There are hundreds of young people in Nicaragua who have made the leap from self-employment to generating employment opportunities for others. They represent around 2.2% of the total youth population, according to the Nicaraguan Foundation for Economic and Social Development (Funides). Nevertheless, a 2013 study carried out in over 100 countries by Global Entrepreneurship Monitor places Nicaragua and Venezuela last on the list of Latin American countries that foster business ventures.Spain, Italy and Turkey are an excellent example of a struggle with youth unemployment and the lack of education in this field. Needs of young people to find a job is well addressed, but job market does not answer these needs properly. One solution that is often offered is that young people start their work practice in chosen company, right after the university for a minimal salary and after the practice, they often get replaced by new students. This is a “legal” practice by the majority of companies in order to find cheap labor and not to pay fines for firing employees.
