“…Regarding the link between these structurally similar regions, the authors highlight recent findings by [78] pointing out to necessity entrepreneurship that can be a common feature in these regions. As put forward by [74], "the perception that the economy is weak and that there are no jobs available could be a decisive 'push factor'" (p.1165) for the youth of these regions. What is needed is the design of effective self-employment policies, especially under consideration of regional actors such as universities [78].…”

The World Economic Forum in Davos suggested that promoting entrepreneurship could be a solution to the problem of youth employment, which is a serious issue with 75 million young people out of work around the world. The entrepreneurial decisions of young people are especially important in regions where economic opportunities are restricted and people choose to move from that region. Two of such regions are East Germany and Northern Cyprus. In this article, the authors are interested in analyzing entrepreneurial tendencies of business and economics students from Northern Cyprus and East Germany in order to provide context-specific knowledge. For this purpose, a survey was conducted at the Technische Universität Dresden and the Near East University with n = 293 participants in 2016. The results were analyzed by using a logistic regression analysis. The study includes with policy implications on the transformation towards entrepreneurial universities to meet the different needs of small and poor cities.

“…Particularly high is the interest in knowing the entrepreneurial intention in the case of university students because they are a good representation of that generation [32,33]. It is now generally accepted that education is vital in the creation of entrepreneurial individuals and in turn an entrepreneurial community [34,35]. Universities are the pillars of knowledge, providing students with a high level of information and skills needed to develop entrepreneurial tendencies [36].…”

Antecedents of Entrepreneurial Intention among Young People: Model and Regional Evidence

et al. 2019

Entrepreneurial intentions determine to a large extent the entrepreneurial behavior; therefore, the study of those intentions and the factors that influence them constitute a valid research area. The purpose of this regional comparative study was to design a new causal model of the formation of the entrepreneurial intention among young adults in Spain and Poland. Using the Structural Equation Modeling (PLS) methodology, the results show that subjective variables (beliefs, social norms, values) initiate the chain of effects that influence the action variables (motivation, self-efficacy, intention). Attitude is the nexus variable between both groups of variables. It is verified that there are no significant differences in the responses to the items or in the causal relationships of the model between both countries. This confirms the relevance of a homogenizing generational approach at a global level that allows the application of policies to promote the entrepreneurial intention for the entire segment. The proposed model takes into account and complements the previous designs, and is practical because it can be used at different levels of the education sector and by institutions promoting entrepreneurship and sustainability.

“…It also contains information that can help explain how young people make decisions regarding education and training, employment and selfemployment (e.g. Mühlböck et al 2017;Dvouletý et al 2018). The dataset has variables relating to the health status of the respondents Utzet 2017, 2018) as well as their experiences using public services when searching for employment (see Shore and Tosun 2017).…”

“…Spells of unemployment early in life are likely to leave scars, which can also affect later employment prospects (Dvouletý et al 2018). Unemployment may also have an impact on political socialisation and patterns of political behaviour (Albacete 2014;Emmenegger et al 2017;Neundorf et al 2013).…”
