ILO EMP/SKILLS Working Paper No. 3, 2002 - There are currently over 300 million unemployed and underemployed 18 to 30 yearolds around the world. One way of tackling this unacceptable waste of energy and talent is to help young people into self-employment. At least 20 per cent of young people have the potential to become entrepreneurs and less than 5 per cent do. With over 1.3 billion young people entering the labour market in the next 30 years, helping them start in business is a challenge that will have to be tackled by all of sectors of society. In the area of youth entrepreneurship, the business community is able to make a particularly strong contribution.
