When it comes to creating enough jobs, particularly for young
people, it's not just the UK that's facing huge challenges
– it's a problem plaguing countries around the world.
SMEs generally create the majority of jobs, but starting a new
business is rarely straightforward. And, if it's hard enough
for an entrepreneur to start up a business and build it to a level
where they can actually employ people, then for a young person with
not much experience and even fewer contacts, it's an extremely
tall order.
Yet helping young people to start their own businesses not only
tackles rising youth unemployment, but it also helps to contribute
to economic development by creating additional jobs and introducing
innovative new products and services into local communities. And
that's what Youth Business International (YBI) strives to
achieve.
