Realities of youth entrepreneurship in Cameroon Angele Audrey Ekollo

The economies of industrialized countries, particularly those of Europe and North America, have tended to stagnate in recent decades. Indeed, they show low rates of economic growth when they are not decreasing. Conversely, in the so-called developing and emerging countries, high growth rates are recorded. However, living conditions in these regions of the world do not go hand in hand. They remain precarious for a large part of the population. All these categories of countries are still confronted with the great social scourge of unemployment, which affects young people even more severely. Specialists agree to identify youth entrepreneurship as a way to boost the growth of states. But to do so, it is necessary to understand the phenomenon. It is with this in mind that our research aims to present the realities of youth entrepreneurship in Cameroon. It intends to make a modest contribution to the mastery of this important part of the economy and to the dialogue between the different stakeholders.
