Abstract

This study is an attempt to present an insight into the entrepreneurial attitude/perception among the Yemeni youth. With the help ofdata drawnfrom a sample of 275 individuals, it isfound that a moderate level ofentrepreneurship perception is present among the youth in Yemen. Further, the findings also indicate that there is no significant difference in entrepreneurial perception among the youth when categorized/analyzed with demographic variables such as age, gender, education level, place of residence, parent's education, employment status and prior business exposure. Based on research explorations, the study recommends that an efficient educational program can certainly play an important role in creating/enhancing entrepreneurial perception among the youth when they are provided with opportunity to acquire soft and hard skills essential to undertake entrepreneurship/business venture and find it as a potential sustainable profitable venture.
