S
timulatingsuccessfulbusinesscreationacrossallsectionsofsocietyisanimportantrequirement
for achieving smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and responding to economic and social
challenges in European Union countries. Entrepreneurship can respond to high rates of
unemployment and low levels of labour market participation which are often concentrated in
particular sections of society by enabling people to create their own jobs and jobs for others. It is
fundamental to the emergence of a more entrepreneurial economy in which new firms offer new
solutionstosocial,economicandenvironmentalchallenges.However,manypeoplefacebarriersto
entrepreneurship. They include access to finance, lack of appropriate skills, and lack of business
networks.Theseobstaclesareoftenmoreimportantforpeoplefromgroupsthataredisadvantaged
and under-represented in entrepreneurship, who often face additional barriers related to attitudes,
motivations and welfare systems that discriminate against entrepreneurship. Both business
developmentpoliciesandactivelabourmarketpolicieshavearoletoplayinhelpingovercomethese
problems.Appropriateactionscanbetakenatnational,regionalandlocallevelsandtargetedatkey
groups such as youth, women, seniors, the unemployed, immigrants, ethnic minorities and people

ItisintendedtoinspirepolicymakersinEuropeandbeyondtointroducenewnationalandlocal
actionstogivepeoplefromallpartsofsocietytheopportunitytosucceedinbusinesscreationand
self-employment, drawing on experiences that have been tried and tested elsewhere. Relevant
actions can be piloted and implemented using a range of local, regional, national and
EuropeanUnion funds that are available for this purpose, including the European Structural and
Investment Funds and national active labour market policy resources, but appropriate plans and
proposals have to be put into place and implemented. This compendium contains a variety of
examplesofapproachesthatcanbetaken.Thedescriptionsofthesepolicyactionsnotonlypresent
the programmes’ activities, but also discuss the challenges faced in their development and
implementation, and the keys to successfully transferring the approach to a different context.The
intention is to help transfer the experiences and lessons learned so that others can avoid common
pitfallsandachieveresultsmorequickly.
This compendium is part of an on-going collaboration on inclusive entrepreneurship between
theCentreforEntrepreneurship,SMEsandLocalDevelopmentoftheOrganisationforEconomicCo-
operationandDevelopment(OECD)andtheDirectorate-GeneralforEmployment,SocialAffairsand
InclusionoftheEuropeanCommission.Oneofthekeyobjectivesofthiscollaborationistosupport
