Abstract

Youth entrepreneurship is a very important topic at the moment. In particular, young entrepreneurs help young businesses to emerge and thus stimulate economic development in rural areas. Young people tend to create innovative products that can fundamentally change the systems of a rural area. However, it should be noted that young people in rural areas still lack knowledge, training, active mentoring in order to develop ideas to the fullest. This encourages researchers and practitioners to look for innovative ways of learning to transfer their accumulated knowledge and further encourage young people to set up breakthrough businesses in rural areas. The object of the research is entrepreneurship education of young people living in rural areas. The aim of the research is to analyze the problems of promoting entrepreneurship of young people living in rural areas from a theoretical point of view and to formulate a model of entrepreneurship education of young people living in rural areas. After the theoretical analysis, a model of entrepreneurship education for young people living in rural areas has been developed.
