Levels of youth unemployment in recent years are much higher than those of all other age groups. While it is not the only solution to address this problem, youth entrepreneurship is recognized, i. e. by the European Commission for a successful and purposeful instrument for reducing the levels of unemployment. Local government in Bulgaria is expressed in solving local issues in the interest of the territorial community. In this regard, one of the main tasks of the local authorities is the creation of policies, conditions and instruments to promote the development of local economic activity, to combat unemployment and stimulate various forms of initiative among young people.
