In its seventh annual "Teens and Entrepreneurship" poll, Junior Achievement has found that 13-18 year olds are less interested in starting their own businesses than they were a year ago. In 2007, 67 percent of teens indicated an interest in entrepreneurship; in 2008 that number declined to 60 percent-perhaps as a result of the stagnating economy.
The release of the poll results coincides with Global Entrepreneurship Week, an effort to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit of young people everywhere (www.unleashingideas.org).
