Entrepreneurial Education, Sustainability and Youth Employment

Abstract

For the future socio-economic development of member States, European policy
makers urge endowing youngsters with an entrepreneurial mindset through
business education starting from school. Such investments in education would
activate a virtuous circle that enables overcoming the miss-match between supply
and demand through effective education, reducing the number of early school
leavers through the introduction of more practice-oriented teaching methods,
increasing youth employment and nurturing a vocation for social innovation at the
local level.
