Youth Entrepreneurship in South Africa and Uganda: An Investigation of the Influence of Mental Triggers
Abstract
Youth entrepreneurship has remained a challenge for young people, communities, and governments alike, although it has been touted as a panacea for poverty alleviation and job creation. In South Africa and Uganda, the contribution of youth- owned enterprises to the gross domestic product remains dismal. South African youth are said to have limited skills, doubt their entrepreneurial potential, prefer employment, and ultimately lack a clear sense of entrepreneurial identity. In Uganda, less than one-half of the youth see themselves as having the skills to run their own business. Most of the youth operate low-margin businesses, with little differentiation amongst them, only able to take care of the daily needs of their owners.
