Abstract

A substantial number of youth lean toward entrepreneurship to build something for their futures, to use their skills and abilities, and for the promise of making a better living, Kauffman Foundation study shows.

An August 2010 Harris Interactive® survey, commissioned by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, posed questions about entrepreneurship to 5,077 U.S. young people ages eight to twenty-four. The results show that business ownership continues to capture the imaginations of America’s youth, particularly for those who know a successful entrepreneur personally.

This four-page fact sheet summarizes the poll’s findings.

Keywords: youth entrepreneurship, entrepreneur, poll
