Based on recognition, evaluation, and exploitation of
opportunities, entrepreneurship is a process that stimulates
economic growth, provides us with new products and services, and
serves as a solution to low unemployment rates. Hence, many
governments encourage their citizens to embrace entrepreneurship as
a strategy to mitigate unemployment, particularly youth and
graduate unemployment. While studies show that entrepreneurship
education has yielded positive results in Western countries, in
other parts of the world it seems that most students still prefer
to seek paid employment in their career of choice. Promoting
Entrepreneurship to Reduce Graduate Unemployment seeks to expand
understanding of the barriers that face graduates in becoming
entrepreneurs in various countries, examining the role of
educational institutions in promoting graduate entrepreneurship and
evaluating governments as well as other schemes that promote
graduate entrepreneurship. Although it will not be a panacea for
all the obstacles that impede graduate entrepreneurship, it is
hoped that this book will illuminate the entrepreneurship career
path, serve as a platform for further diagnosis for reducing
graduate unemployment, and highlight areas in need of further
research. Covering topics such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy,
career choice, and educated unemployment, it serves as a dynamic
resource for educators, educational administration and faculty,
government institutions, graduate students, student organizations,
professionals, researchers, and academicians.
