The Contribution of Support Structures in Promoting Youth Entrepreneurship in Morocco

This study seeks to clarify the importance of the presence of entrepreneurial support structures in promoting youth entrepreneurship in Morocco. This research combines qualitative and quantitative tools to collect primary data from 7 representatives of entrepreneurial support structures and 150 young entrepreneurs. In this respect, the study showed that a lack of financial resources, a weak professional network, complex and cumbersome administrative procedures are the main obstacles preventing young entrepreneurs from fully unleashing their energies and taking advantage of business opportunities. The survey revealed a range of proposals for promoting youth entrepreneurship in Morocco, foremost among which is individualized support that takes into account the specific needs of each entrepreneur.
