Purpose: The main purpose of this work is to analyze the attitudes, intentions and actions of young people in relation to educational programs on entrepreneurship. Design/methodology/approach: The survey of respondents was conducted through popular social networks in the region by filling out a questionnaire on the Internet. The sample group consisted of 179 people aged 17-35 years. Findings: Young people who refused to take part in an educational program on entrepreneurship, as a rule, have no ideas or projects for business and are characterized by zero entrepreneurial activity. Respondents from this group, in comparison with others, have a poor understanding of the goals and objectives of startups, and are also less likely than others to choose an intensive training program. All this may indicate that the real reason for the refusal of young people to participate in paid training programs may be a lack of motivation and a clear understanding by respondents of their vision of themselves as an entrepreneur. Research limitations/implications: The limitations of this study are related to the fact that the survey was of a regional nature for the target group of 17-35 years. In this regard, its results cannot be generalized. The results we have obtained provide a reasonable basis for further research on barriers to youth entrepreneurship. Practical implications: The research results are qualitatively, analyzed feedback from young people on the problems of low entrepreneurial activity which can be used to develop government measures to stimulate the private sector. In addition, the results provide a reasonable basis for further research on the role and relationship of financial and educational barriers to youth entrepreneurship. Social implications: The results of the research allow us to revise the measures of youth policy aimed at increasing entrepreneurial activity through the formation of sustainable behavioral entrepreneurial intentions. Originality/value: This study is an independent and comprehensive analysis of the low activity of young people in educational programs in the field of entrepreneurship.
