Entrepreneurship has been the only way to change human life for all long. With the era we have, where jobs are scarce and demand is high it is even more crucial for the youths to change their minds from formal employment obsession to self employment thinking. Although they are the ones affected by unemployment, youths are either subsumed into general adult population or ignored; this arouse the researcher‘s interest to study on this phenomena with general objective being to examine the factors that should be considered in enabling youth entrepreneurship in Tanzania. The study used a sample of 120 respondents comprising youth entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial academicians, government employees and experts. The methods used in the data collection were questionnaires, interviews, observation and documentation. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the data. The study found that youth entrepreneurs have clear perception of entrepreneurship, have entrepreneurial qualities and realized the factors to be considered in enabling youth entrepreneurship basing on three actors namely the government, NGOs and family/community. The researcher recommends that, the government has to do many things including infrastructures improvement; NGOs among many should buy domestic products while the families have to consider socialization and avoid overdependence. Youths are argued to unite for better results. |
