Youth unemployment had been already for several years one of the most burning issues in Europe
when it comes to both, EU and non-EU states. Especially it had been visible in Eastern Europe, as
the result of certain historic circumstances, political instability and economic crisis.
One of the possible solutions and ways to decrease the level of youth unemployment in Europe
generally and the countries of Eastern Partnership particularly is empowering and promoting
entrepreneurship among young people. At the same time, in the last years we can observe another
phenomenon which is a blooming development of IT sector and professionals in the Eastern
European countries. Taking into the consideration those two facts, such as the high level of youth
unemployment and the number of competent IT professionals, the possible solution in this situation
can be promoting IT entrepreneurship among young people.
