young entrepreneurs in Wales?
Issues that the Committee considered as part of these

funding targeted at the promotion of youth entrepreneurship? Is it
sufficient?

youth entrepreneurship incorporate issues such as equality, social
enterprise and regional variations in skills and training opportunities?

entrepreneurship as a means of tackling youth unemployment and inactivity?

secondary education, further education and higher education institutions
in Wales?
- What is the evidence base for the Welsh Government’s
approach to supporting and encouraging youth entrepreneurship?

entrepreneurship policy can be identified within Wales, more widely within
