Topics What sort of topics does the study cover? Sample attributes Hypotheses / research question Many programmes exist to provide support and encouragement to young entrepreneurs, but the best ways of supporting youth in creating new businesses and organisations are not clear. Will young people benefit more from specific advice on how to run a business or general lessons about decision-making? What impact do these support programmes have? Sample Trial population and sample selection Government runs a series of “Local Missions” in underprivileged urban/suburban areas of France which provide trainings and support to local youth, particularly those who may have dropped out of school before acquiring necessary academic or social skills. Most trainings are run by volunteers and focus on developing vocational skills and promoting social integration. In Local Missions throughout France, a sample of young unemployed people who were interested in starting a business, association, or event, were randomly allocated into either a treatment or comparison group. Members of the treatment group were enrolled in the "Groupement de Createurs" programme.
