- ItemThe Role of Youth Entrepreneurship in Promoting Competitiveness and Local Economic Development in Palestine(Al-Quds University, 2025-08-02) Qais Jamal Mohsen; قيس جمال محسنThis thesis explores the role of youth entrepreneurship in enhancing competitiveness and promoting local economic development in Palestine, a topic of great importance given the complex economic and social conditions of Palestinian society. The study is based on the premise that youth represent the most dynamic and capable group for driving change, and that investing in their entrepreneurial potential can directly address challenges such as unemployment and poverty while fostering economic growth. The research employed a methodology that combined theoretical analysis with fieldwork. It reviewed relevant literature on entrepreneurship and analyzed the experiences of young Palestinian entrepreneurs through surveys and interviews. The aim was to identify the current state of youth entrepreneurship in Palestine, the obstacles hindering its development, and the opportunities available to expand it. The findings reveal that youth entrepreneurship significantly contributes to stimulating the local economy by creating small and medium-sized enterprises that generate employment opportunities and improve income levels within local communities. These initiatives also enhance competitiveness by introducing innovative ideas, developing new products and services, and in some cases, expanding into regional and international markets. However, the study also identified several challenges, most notably limited access to finance, weak supporting infrastructure for entrepreneurial projects, and the lack of effective government policies to encourage youth-led ventures. The thesis concludes that strengthening youth entrepreneurship requires joint efforts from the public and private sectors, as well as from civil society institutions and universities, to provide an enabling and supportive environment. It recommends the development of specialized training programs to build entrepreneurial capacities, facilitating access to financing, and promoting an entrepreneurial culture among youth as a tool for economic and social development. Ultimately, the study emphasizes that empowering Palestinian youth to pursue entrepreneurship is not only an economic necessity but also a strategic choice to ensure stability, enhance national competitiveness, and build a more sustainable and equitable future for Palestinian society. Keywords: Entrepreneurship, Labor Utilization, Local Economic Development.
