The Problem of Youth Entrepreneurship Development in Kyrgyzstan

In the context of the economic development of the Kyrgyz Republic, the growth of youth entrepreneurship has become particularly relevant. This study aims to identify the main challenges faced by young entrepreneurs during both the startup and operational stages of running their own businesses. Key issues identified include: a lack of entrepreneurial knowledge, limited government support, low financial literacy, and high competition from more experienced market participants. An analysis of educational approaches in Kyrgyzstan and abroad reveals a lag in the development of school-based and entrepreneurial education, which reduces young people's readiness to launch and grow their own ventures. Special attention in this research is given to the psychological aspects of entrepreneurship, including the issue of emotional burnout, as well as the role of non-governmental initiatives and startups. The study uses surveys and interviews with young entrepreneurs to gather empirical data. The findings may serve as a foundation for the development of educational programs, government support measures, and initiatives aimed at fostering the startup ecosystem in Kyrgyzstan.
