The article is devoted to the analysis of support for youth entrepreneurship in Russia and Russian regions. Consideration of this topic is relevant, since, on the one hand, the interest of Russian youth in creating a business is growing, and on the other, society and the state are interested in young, initiative entrepreneurs. The article reviews, analyzes and compares the state support for young businessmen at the federal and regional levels. The main research methods are comparative analysis, analysis of regulatory legal acts of Russia and regions of the Russian Federation, systematization and generalization of legal information. The result of the study was the conclusion on the implementation of support for young entrepreneurs in the Russian Federation and its feasibility. The main problems of this direction of support were highlighted. So, some discrepancies in federal and regional legislation, inaccuracies in the organization of the assistance process itself, the lack of a clear plan of measures to support this type of business, etc. were revealed. Recommendations were also proposed that will help to overcome these problems and make the support of young entrepreneurs more accessible, appropriate and effective. So, for example, it was proposed to simplify the very concept of youth entrepreneurship, to fix at the federal level the main directions of its support, etc.

The promotion of young enterprise is central to European Union youth policy, particularly since the financial crisis of 2007/2008. Expectations that young people need to be enterprising and eschew dependency on formal structures of salaried employment are a key narrative in European and national youth policies. These policy initiatives correspond with recent theoretical development of the entrepreneurial self as a managerial version of the governable individual. Endorsements of entrepreneurship implicitly promote a normative expectation that young people’s future orientations need to be innovative, flexible and creative. There is, therefore, an implicit temporality to youth entrepreneurship. This paper’s contribution to scholarship on how young lives are promoted and produced as entrepreneurial selves is to document how young people’s engagement with entrepreneurship fosters orientations to present and future. Conventionally entrepreneurs are assumed to be goal-orientated. In our qualitative study of young entrepreneurs in two European countries (n = 28), we find that this assumption of goal-orientation needs qualification. Young entrepreneurs in our study engage with the idea that being an entrepreneur is about being creative rather than seeking to maximise financial profit. Their focus on creativity, innovation and problem-solving is realised through a non-teleological commitment to what they are doing in the here and now, rather than calibrating their activities in relation to predetermined goals and worrying about the possibility of future failure.

The article presents the trajectory of two young entrepreneurs of the Brazilian audiovisual sector, seeking to present the main motivations to starting the business, difficulties faced during the process and profile of entrepreneurs. In order to achieve the proposed goal, we conducted in-depth semi-structured interviews with the young entrepreneurs over a period of six months. As main results it was verified that the main motivation to start the venture was the desire to develop projects independently and the opportunity to access government incentive policies that promote Brazilian film production. Among the main difficulties faced by the young entrepreneurs were the financial ones. They believe that a good entrepreneur is one who knows his goals, persists in reaching them, and overcomes adversities. The cases illustrates how a cultural entrepreneurship process is composed of a search for competences in both the artistic tools needed producing films as well as business startup and management.

The results of the sociological survey conducted in 2020 proved that the specifics of youth entrepreneurship in Saratov is directly related to socio-demographic characteristics. There are predominantly male-dominated business activities such as industry, construction and transport. The age largely determines the sphere of interests, values and experience of the individual, influencing the choice of business. For the younger age it is trade, for the older generation it is the service sector and other areas. The motivational core of the young entrepreneurs depends on their gender identity. For women, they are internal motives: the desire to do what they like, independence; for men, they are external motives: increased income and public recognition. Motivation is determined by the general orientation of the person, which depends on the age and life circumstances. In the age group from 18 to 22 the desire for independence prevails. In the group from 23 to 26 the main motivating factor is the desire to do what they like. In the 27–34 age group the income growth is the main motive. The popularity of various sources of business information is also greatly based on the age. The confidence in the various courses and trainings is usually demonstrated by younger cohorts. As they grow older, their popularity declines. The representatives of older categories of entrepreneurs trust the Internet and their friends more. There is a direct correlation between the age and the use of bank lending services. The older the entrepreneur is, the more often he/she resorts to the use of bank lending, as he/she is more stable in life and has more opportunities to use this service and further repay the loan. The problems of young entrepreneurs are significantly correlated with the age or gender, although they operate in the same conditions of the existing reality, depending on the economic and political state of the region. The experience of young entrepreneurs which depends on the age is reflected in the self-assessment of their business. The older the individual is, the more positively he/she evaluates his work.

The Impact

This chapter looks at the challenges, opportunities, and tensions facing the equitable development of artificial intelligence (AI) in the MENA region in the aftermath of the Arab Spring. While diverse in their natural and human resource endowments, countries of the region share a commonality in the predominance of a youthful population amid complex political and economic contexts. Rampant unemployment—especially among a growing young population—together with informality, gender, and digital inequalities, will likely shape the impact of AI technologies, especially in the region’s labor-abundant resource-poor countries. The chapter then analyzes issues related to data, legislative environment, infrastructure, and human resources as key inputs to AI technologies which in their current state may exacerbate existing inequalities. Ultimately, the promise for AI technologies for inclusion and helping mitigate inequalities lies in harnessing grounds-up youth entrepreneurship and innovation initiatives driven by data and AI, with a few hopeful signs coming from national policies.
