Conclusions

Abstract

The main goal of the analysis carried out in the preceding chapters was to gain insights into the opportunities of empowering disadvantaged youth through entrepreneurship training. In considering these young entrepreneurs within the area of tension between agency and structure, together with their personal motivation and aspirations as they transition into adulthood, the analysis revealed that they developed different livelihood strategies, depending on their development of personal initiative and the degree of determination which they possessed in relation to their personal aspirations. Based on these findings, different types of entrepreneurs have been identified, which have specific implications for the training providers and further societal and political stakeholders that are engaged in the planning and realization of entrepreneurship training.
