Introduction
Promotion of youth entrepreneurship is increasingly regarded
by many decision makers as a means to reduce youth unemployment,
but also as a way to close the gap between demand and supply of
skills in the light of a rapid technological change.
In most of the countries of the region, governmental
structures created to promote youth employment and
entrepreneurship are relatively new, and there is an obvious
need to asses the result of implementation of Government
policies and measures, as well as numerous private and
non-governmental initiatives, targeting youth.

The UNECE two year programme is focusing on promoting youth
entrepreneurship within the framework of a larger programme
component, such as Industrial Restructuring, Enterprise
Development and Entrepreneurship. Within this framework, youth
entrepreneurship is seen as a means of alleviating the risk of
poverty in declining industrial areas, as well as means of
utilizing the potential of young people in developing new and
high value industrial activities in such regions
