| dc.description.abstract | The development of youth enterprises is of great importance in Kenya. Vision 2030 embodies
the development of youth in entrepreneurial sector. In the recent past, there has been report of an
increment of registration of youth enterprises. It is notable that youth are embracing
entrepreneurship as a way of earning a living as opposed to the past where society regarded
white-collar jobs than SMEs.
The importance placed on youth enterprises by the Kenyan Central government and the County
governments is evidenced through the availability of youth loans and the ease of registration of
businesses. This is essentially because youth enterprises and their engagement in the
entrepreneurial sector is seen as a major boost to Kenya’s economic growth and to the
achievement of vision 2030.
The study is aimed at assessing the factors hindering the success of youth enterprises by
evaluating the impact of credit accessibility, entrepreneurial education and management
strategies among the young entrepreneurs. The results and findings of this study will help
unravel the factors hindering success of youth enterprises, entrepreneurial potential and will
hence help in solving the ever-increasing youth unemployment crisis. | en_US |
