Abstract |
|
|
| This research aims to identify rural youth attitudes towards entrepreneurship and explore mechanisms to enhance
these attitudes. Specific objectives include assessing the level of entrepreneurial attitudes among rural youth, examining the relationships between various independent variables and these attitudes, identifying challenges faced by rural youth in entrepreneurship, and proposing enhancement strategies. A random sample of 364 rural households was selected using the Krejcie and Morgan formula, with participants aged 18-29 from Aja (130), Sanbalawain (125), and Al-Manzala (109) villages. Data was collected through personal interviews using a structured questionnaire during June and July 2024, employing both descriptive and analytical methods. Findings revealed that approximately 73.9% of participants exhibited low to moderate entrepreneurial attitudes, with 61.5% unaware of supportive organizations and two-fifths acknowledging challenges in entrepreneurship projects. The study identified increasing training workshops as a key mechanism to improve attitudes. Additionally, significant differences in entrepreneurial attitudes were found based on gender, favoring males, while educational level, access to information, innovation, and ambition positively influenced entrepreneurial attitudes
among the youth.
