Chapter one explores the labour force participation of women and youth, while chapter two assesses the entrepreneurship enabling environment and in chapter three a specific look is taken at entrepreneurship in the Arab region among women and youth. Chapter four explores value chain development, social entrepreneurship and frontier technologies as approaches that can enhance women and youth entrepreneurship. The study concludes with chapter five that provides several theme-based recommendations on policies, entrepreneurship education, infrastructure, leveraging the diaspora, measurement, and specific ones on women and youth entrepreneurship based on the challenges that they face. Lastly recommendations are included on enhancing entrepreneurship opportunities in frontier technologies and social entrepreneurship.
