Reducing Barriers to Inclusive Entrepreneurship
Persistent labour market inequalities across Europe affect women, young people and vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities. Entrepreneurship holds significant potential to address these disparities by empowering individuals, fostering innovation and generating economic growth that benefits society as a whole. This hearing will bring together experts and stakeholders to identify common challenges, share good practices and propose policy solutions to foster equality and social inclusion through entrepreneurship.
