The authors present and discuss significant aspects of
the youth entrepreneurship in the European Union (EU). In
particular higher education (HE) in Greece is taken as fieldwork
of empirical analysis. Paper’s structure arranges as follows:
Firstly, it introduces a complete conceptual basis for
entrepreneurship as defined in the EU and looks at
entrepreneurship in the context of actions taken by the European
Council and especially by the European Commission. The
significance of entrepreneurship (embedded in substantial
economic factors such as growth, development, employment,
education and training, etc.) and its objectives are then discussed,
particularly in relation to students in higher education. Secondly,
the study assesses the status of youth entrepreneurship and its
influences on students in the Greek higher education system,
applying an empirical methodology. In order to explore the
behaviour and attitudes of HE students towards entrepreneurship,
the authors analyse data collected by means of a special
questionnaire, firstly introduced in 2005 by Karanassios et al.
The selected sample comprised male and female undergraduate
students studying in various disciplines at the Technological
Educational Institute (TEI) of Serres. The results are evaluated
and their implications for educational programmes at
universities, TEIs, business schools, other educational units, etc,
are considered.
