Today, entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activity plays a key role in economic growth and job creation, especially among young people. Youth entrepreneurship is an important factor in encouraging employment, as young entrepreneurs bring innovation and fresh ideas to the economic world. Young people are increasingly taking the entrepreneurial route as it offers them a more flexible form of employment. When we discuss youth entrepreneurship, we are also referring to inclusive entrepreneurship, which emphasises equal opportunities for all, regardless of socio-economic background, and promotes diversity in the world of entrepreneurship. Youth attitudes towards entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial activity have been improving over the years in Slovenia in a positive direction, as entrepreneurship in general is becoming more and more valued. This is the result of the efforts of policies and organisations that create supportive environments for the development of young entrepreneurs. In this thesis, we present the theoretical aspects of entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial activity and youth entrepreneurship based on data collected so far from surveys such as the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and the Mladina 2020 survey. In the applied part, we analysed data from the Mladina 2020 survey and compared the results of the general population of young people in Slovenia with the results of a survey conducted among students of the Faculty of Economics and Business. The results showed that students with a background in economics and business are more entrepreneurial or more prone to entrepreneurship than young people in Slovenia. In general, young people in Slovenia are willing to take the risks of an entrepreneurial life and have a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship.
