At the present stage of the development of the modern society entrepreneurship is being positioned as an effective form of implementing human potential. Last two decades the attention of researchers is drawn to the matters of the development of human potential. However, until now in scientific literature there is no single unambiguously interpreted and interconnected system of notions to describe and analyze human potential. The category “potential” in its linguistic form includes the notion of an opportunity to implement, in this case, abilities of a person and not the process of implementing these abilities itself. In order to rebuild the economy and gain a higher level of employment Europe needs more entrepreneurs as well as high level of entrepreneurial potential of inhabitants, especially young people. The aim of the research is to determine the features of entrepreneurial potential, its structure and determinative factors. For achievement of this aim the empirical research on young people’s entrepreneurial potential was realized in Latgale region of Latvia. The questionnaire elaborated by the authors was used for the survey. The survey was carried out on February-April 2014 in order to investigate young people’s attitude towards entrepreneurship and their readiness to start a business in Latgale region. The target group of the survey or general population sample is all young people in Latgale region. Planned sample size - 382 respondents, achieved - 338 respondents, and they were selected randomly. In general, the most of respondents have positive attitude towards entrepreneurship. At the same time it can be concluded that according to young people’s self-evaluation only a small proportion of respondents could be able to start their business. According their own opinion, they have to learn and acquire additional knowledge about entrepreneurship.

In the late 20th – early 21st centuries, sociologists more and more frequently are using the theory of capital, the development of which was greatly contributed by Pierre Bourdieu. In the article, there are substantiated the necessity and the possibility to use the theory of capital evaluating and analyzing situations in different spheres of social life, including employment, labour migration. In 2012, the sociologists of the Institute of Social Research, Daugavpils University, carried out a research project “Aggregate Capital, Its Structure and Relation to Labour Migration”, where the theory of total capital was widely used. The project was aimed to evaluate the volume and structure of the total capital of Latgale region’s inhabitants, taking into account state’s needs for its social and economical development and different needs of region’s inhabitants, in particular connected to the labour migration. Using results of different studies aiming to examine the competiveness of employed part of Latvians as well as the role of different types of capital, hypothesis has been highlighted – basis for growth of the human capital (at the same time for the growth of financial and social wellbeing of region’s inhabitants) is the cultural capital of family. Executing the study basic hypothesis has been acknowledged: in the modern environment of the “society of knowledge”, having a high proportion of the services sector, the basis for the growth of the human capital (that in fact has a direct effect on the economical capital) is the cultural capital of personality. For the major part of economically active inhabitants the cultural capital is not only a source of social and moral benefits, but also a source of financial income. Also additional hypothesis has been proved – higher predisposition for the labour migration is more typical for economically active region’s inhabitants with fairly high amounts of some indicators of the total capital, especially physical capital, but with comparatively lower amount of the cultural capital, which could transform into the human capital, and further into the economical capital in Latgale or Latvia.
