Make Entrepreneurship an “Welcome “ option for young people. In many countries entrepreneurship is not perceived as a viable option for young people seeking employment. Main reasons are because of the following stigma
-Many families put much focus on earning wages rather than creating wealth as they have the perception that a good qualifications will guarantee people to be employed . Therefore this cause the expectation that if the family effort to help young people get a degree is not realized , will deem the youth’s future. Thus it has become a stigma to present societies around the world .
- Another major stigma is Failure . The fear of failure is a strong discouragement to starting your own business.
Entrepreneurship is not valued in many societies with high esteem as it is not similar to working with a Government agency or with a large corporation . Therefore potential young entrepreneurs are usually tend to be more risk averse and are less afraid of the financial and social costs of failure as they out weigh both the the benefits of success over failure

Entrepreneurs need the right environments to grow their company. This environment will include other Governmental organizations, companies or even educational institutions that help to grow the business by providing seed funding or example ..some short-term self-sustaining micro-credit mechanisms for business start-ups which are regarded as a highly effective social investment. Government and employers can play a role in influencing banks to give preferential loan and repayment options to young entrepreneurs.
