Abstract As part of their long tradition of economics and social sciences, regional development and analysis, the project partners will focus on building knowledge, best practices and synergies in the concept of knowledge management in youth entrepreneurship, its practical implementation and local development effects. In a number of Central Asian and Eastern Partnership countries, new ideas about entrepreneurship have been identified regarding resource efficiency, improved market solutions and services, and increased life cycle and innovative development. However, most of these articles provide evidence only at the phenomenological and descriptive level. Efforts to prioritize small and medium-sized business / entrepreneurship development at any key or level of government fail to account for a central compelling argument: the ability to calculate and anticipate what and who will be affected by entrepreneurship. Therefore, an important element is a concentrated point analysis of students’ talents for the implementation of entrepreneurial activity in a professional environment. Keywords: international cooperation, project activities, educational projects, entrepreneurial skills, open science, open innovation.
Reducing youth unemployment and bringing about more opportunities for successful professional careers remains one of the major global challenges for decades to come. This represents a challenge with unique dimensions and it therefore requires specific responses. First, the increased number of graduating students with formally recognized qualifications but poor opportunities for professional realization in their field of competences has created a high percentage of unemployed young people. According to ILO (2019) «working poverty, poor job quality and persistent labour market inequalities remain concerns» for Europe and Central Asia [1]. Second, the ILO alarms that globally, 21.2 per cent of young people were not in employment, education or training (NEET) in 2018. Progress during the past ten years has been negligible: in 2008, the NEET rate was 22 per cent [2]. Among young people (aged 15–24), the decline in labour force participation has been even more pronounced, largely owing to extended education and an associated postponement of labour market entry. Third, youth employment rates closely relate to the general environment, namely legal-political, economic, socio-cultural and educational systems of a country – e.g. labour market regulations; mismatch between youth skills and aspirations and labour market demand and realities; constraints on self-employment and entrepreneurship development. Youth labour market is dependent on the national employment policies that can help business to compete globally 36
