The goal of this project was initiated to provide basic documents for strengthening the personal competency and supporting the policy to cultivate youth entrepreneurship. The survey was conducted and analyzed regarding the perception of entrepreneurship and start-up of youth(n=6,612). To compensate for the quantitative survey, one-to-one interviews(n=14) were implemented. Implications drawn through the survey's results are as follows: 1) developing and distributing programs related entrepreneurship and start-up; (2)cultivating experts in entrepreneurship and start-up; (3) strengthening connections with related centers in community and forming consultation groups; (4) supporting and strengthening the current law and institutions to build the entrepreneurship and start-up courses; (5) expanding training programs for teachers of this area; (6) forming and invigorating experiential activities connected with curriculums in school grade levels; (7) developing and distributing programs that enhance cultural values and levels of self-leadership. To this end, efforts need to be made to change the overall perception of society in order for young entrepreneurs to be sought after as a key growth engine driving the national economy. A main strategic point is to establish a life-cycle entrepreneurship education system and develop education models reflecting objectives and education content corresponding to each stage of development starting from elementary schools all the way to universities. The efficient implementation of the process requires consensus and cooperation among students, parents, teachers, educational institutions, and related government ministries and agencies. At the same time, companies and educational institutions need to work closely at the local level.
