<p>This study investigates the impact of entrepreneurship education on unemployment reduction in Mogadishu, Somalia, a city characterized by a high unemployment rate due to ongoing political instability, limited economic diversification, and a young population. The study employs a descriptive research design and uses Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze data collected from 384 respondents. These respondents include entrepreneurs, unemployed youth, and government officials. The study examines relationships between entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial challenges, government policies and unemployment. Findings reveal a positive correlation between entrepreneurial challenges such as limited access to finance and regulatory hurdles and unemployment. In contrast, entrepreneurship education has a significant negative effect on unemployment. This finding highlights the importance of equipping individuals with entrepreneurial skills for job creation. However, no significant relationship was found between government policies and unemployment. This suggests that current policies may not be adequately addressing the root causes of unemployment. The study recommends strengthening entrepreneurship education in schools and vocational centers, and developing policies that support entrepreneurship, such as improving access to finance, offering tax incentives, and reducing bureaucratic obstacles. Policymakers can use these insights to design more effective programs and policies that foster entrepreneurship, create jobs, and reduce unemployment in Somalia.</p>
