Entrepreneurship is a driving force for Creating Healthy Economic Opportunities for youth and societies in general. Sustainable entrepreneurship refers to the discovery, creation, and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities that contribute to sustainability by generating social and environmental gains for others in society (Hockerts and Wüstenhagen, 2010; Pacheco et al., 2010; Shepherd and Patzelt, 2011). In order to create healthy, sustainable economic opportunities, we need to pursue strategies that create job opportunities for youth, empower them with the skills and credentials needed to improve products and services, and improve the quality of jobs available for them. Our YouthLead Ambassador Purvi Jagnani (Nepal) shares what she has been doing in creating economic opportunities for young artisans in her community through art, craft, and capacity building.
