The main goal of this paper is to describe the position of young entrepreneurs in the Republic of Croatia, and to study the prospects and possibilities of entering and remaining young people in entrepreneurship, the challenges they face and what is needed to start their own company or business. In addition to the research results, the contribution of the work is also reflected in the assessment of state programs to help young entrepreneurs in the Republic of Croatia. According to the research results, there are several options for the entry of young people into the world of entrepreneurship, but it is also vitally important to ensure continuous empowerment and encouragement to take the initiative. Research reveals that integrating practice and passion for entrepreneurship as part of primary education is one method of encouraging young people to enter the workforce. Furthermore, the key to the success of young people in entrepreneurship is endurance, adequate preparation and willingness to take risks. Due to the above reasons, the question is how to improve or encourage new entrepreneurs to realize business ventures. It is crucial to provide them with adequate support, skills, information and resources, so that young entrepreneurs can be more efficient and confident entrepreneurs, so that they are professionally prepared.
