Russian youth entrepreneurship in the context of three approaches

Abstract

This article reveals approaches to youth entrepreneurship from the perspective of economic, socio-psychological and sociological aspects. From economic perspective, young people’s interest for business activity is connected with such an economic motive as property right, right to ownership, right to disposal and right to income control. Socio-psychological approach allows considering inner psychological regulators of young entrepreneurs’ economic behavior. From sociological perspective, young entrepreneurs interact closely with the state, have unconventional economical behavior, and possess personal traits that may bring to social changes. Theoretical ideas are illustrated by the results of the empirical research conducted in Novosibirsk, Tomsk and Ufa.
