Students’ attitudes towards youth entrepreneurship: the reserve of modern Russia

The article is devoted to a comprehensive study of the factors influencing the formation of entrepreneurial attitudes and readiness for entrepreneurial activity among Russian students. The main purpose of the work is to identify the significant potential of students as an important reserve for the further development of the Russian economy. Within the framework of this study, the key barriers and restrictions that hinder the full development of youth entrepreneurship in the country were examined in detail. Based on the analysis, a set of measures and recommendations aimed at overcoming these obstacles is proposed. The results of three consecutive studies have shown significant differences in the levels of readiness and perception of entrepreneurial activity among students of various fields of study at universities. In addition, factors influencing the formation of entrepreneurial attitudes were identified, such as educational programs, features of the external socio—economic environment, as well as personal experience and competencies of students. Based on the data and conclusions obtained, specific recommendations were developed for universities and government support programs that could contribute to more effective development of youth entrepreneurship in the Russian Federation.
