2. What could be the most important in boosting youth entrepreneurship in Poland?
• Money? Culture? Incubation of resources? Human capital?
1st factor: Advanced education supports entrepreneurial entry through:
• The acquisition of skills – students have more chances to develop necessary skills important for an entrepreneur, especially critical thinking, communication and teamwork,
• Providing an access to certain social networks,• Sorting people by ambition and assertiveness.
• 2nd factor: It was confirmed while testing the effect of entrepreneurship programmes on entrepreneurial attitudes and intention of students that:– Inspiration (and not learning or resource-
utilisation) was the entrepreneurial programme's benefit related to the increase of subjective norm and intention towards self-employment.
• 3rd factor
- Work experience - gives and access to: social networks, market information, capital, potential customers.
