Entrepreneurship

Start-ups are turbocharging global growth - especially in emerging economies

Emma Rose of Britain (L) and Nils Westerlund of Sweden work in the office of the HowDo, a "how-to-do-it-yourself" app, start-up at the Wostel co-working space in Berlin March 18, 2013. Europe must urgently tackle youth unemployment, the French, German and Italian governments said May 28, 2013, urging action to rescue an entire generation who fear they will not find jobs. Some 7.5 million Europeans aged 15-24 are neither in employment nor in education or training, according to EU data. Youth unemployment in the EU stood at 23.6 percent in January, more than twice as high as the adult rate. Picture taken March 18, 2013.
