8. What if We Don’t Find Adequate Solutions?
8© Dr. Peter VogelOctober 14th, 2016
Individual Consequences
Scarring effect on the person’s human-
and social capital
Negative life-long effects on earnings
Negatively influences psychosocial
development and overall well-being
Prevents young people from developing
adequate work ethics
Difficulty of young people to become
independent from parents
Forces young people to accept part-time
or temporary employment
Increases chances of subsequent
unemployment
Societal & Economic Consequences
Waste of economic potential
Threat of an undermined social stability
Brain drain towards countries with better
job opportunities
Loss of tax earnings for countries
Increased criminality rate and anti-social
behavior, requiring more security
It is estimated that joblessness in the United
States alone will account for a total of $20
billion in lost earnings over the next ten years
Jacobs, 2014

12. Why Foster Youth Entrepreneurship
12© Dr. Peter VogelOctober 14th, 2016
Entrepreneurship is becoming increasingly accepted as a suitable
means and critical alternative for income generation among young
people and a mechanism to unleash their economic potential.
3 main (not the only) reasons why to foster youth entrepreneurship. It…
• …creates employment opportunities for the founders and their
employees. In the case of young people, they are more likely to hire
other young people (homophily principle).
• …helps develop new skills & professional experience that, in
turn, can enhance general employability.
• …revitalizes local communities through new products and
services and keeps otherwise young and idle people occupied,
which is always better than not having anything to do.
13. Evidence for Impact of Entrepreneurship
13© Dr. Peter VogelOctober 14th, 2016
Entrepreneurship is a main driver of economic development, job creation
and a country’s competitiveness.
Three supporting arguments from research:
• The average net employment growth rate in the United States
between 1980 and 2005 would have been negative, if not for the jobs
created by new ventures.
• Jobs created from new ventures are less volatile & sensitive to
economic turbulence compared to jobs in the overall economy.
• The creation of new firms has an important effect on a nation’s
political & societal stability, as it promotes social cohesion by
offering the opportunity of self-employment to everyone & allows
broad participation in the economy regardless of a person’s
background.

“The jobs we need to create will come neither from the big corporations nor
from government, but they will come mainly from entrepreneurs who represent
66% of job creation within the OECD and 85% within the EU.” Grégoire
Sentilhes, co-founder of the G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance
Hinweis der Redaktion Many young people are forced to accept jobs for which they are over-qualified. On the other hand, employers are forced to hire people that don’t have the adequate skills simply because they cannot find enough people.
There are regional differences between developed and developing economies There are many different solutions out there! There are many different solutions that need to be considered in order to tackle youth unemployment and it requires a multi-stakeholder effort Fostering entrepreneurship is a difficult & multi-faceted issue and it requires the orchestrated effort by many stakeholders. Hence, if we want to promote youth entrepreneurship, it is not enough to launch isolated initiatives but it requires a clear strategy for solution deployment.
