interior,
individual
features
The group of
exterior
predispositions
• Personality traits for having
enterprising features
• The system of education
• The situation on the job market
• Features of the local
environment
Barriers to the
development of young
entrepreneurship in
rural areas
Barriers affecting and hindering youth form
entrepreneurial behavior are in general:
• The lack of a friendly environment for starting
and running a business,
• Very low efficiency of domestic institutional
support system for entrepreneurship
development in rural areas, that would meet the
expectations of potential and already existing
businesses
What is also characteristic in
the rural areas :
• The overall situation of agriculture in rural areas,
• High level of unemployment prevailing among
the population in rural areas,
• The village is perceived as a place that do not
meet the aspirations of young people. It is said
that there is some kind of a stigma , one speak
of " rural backgrounds " ,
• laws and regulations,
cd.
• Social and cultural conditions,
• Economic conditions,
• Little or sometimes the lack of institutions,
supporting entrepreneurship development
in rural areas,
• Training and education.

Conclusions
• It is difficult to define the term " enterprise" or
„enterpreneurship”, as it is a multi-faceted concept
of heterogeneous content . The behavioral
approach is the dominant .
• Entrepreneurship of the Young is desirable in rural
areas due to the multifunctional rural development
policy .
• Analysis of problems showed that young people
from rural areas are facing worse conditions than
their peers in urban areas in terms of
entrepreneurship.
• The same factors can become barriers if they are
not properly functioning and will not be developed.
Analysis of available data on entrepreneurship has
shown , however, that an extensive research on
youth entrepreneurship in rural areas has not yet
been carried out.
Current transfers of entrepreneurship in Poland refer
either to the general state of our country , or the
entrepreneurial attitudes of Poles in general.
What is lacking is data imaging and characterizing
entrepreneurship of young inhabitants of the
countryside , which is obviously a big loss to the
society and action must be taken to supplement the
knowledge of rural sociology and rural youth
entrepreneurial attitudes .
