**6. Young people's enthusiasm for entrepreneurship**

In order to get an idea of young people's motivation for entrepreneurship, we conducted a survey on the subject. The sample constituted is given in the **Table 4**. *Perspective Chapter: Technical and Vocational Training Policies and Practices Facing... DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.112446*


**Table 4.**

*Number of respondents.*

The questionnaire administered was the following: "What is your level of motivation for entrepreneurship".

1.Highly motivated

2.Motivated

3.Unmotivated

4.Not motivated at all.

The collection techniques used were the written questionnaire (for graduates and apprentices in training), individual interviews and focus groups (for apprentices and those "without training"), and telephone exchanges with 10 respondents per target group. The methodology of the survey was based on two research traditions that merge with two distinct approaches, namely, the quantitative approach and the qualitative one.

The quantitative approach places great emphasis on the use of quantifiable and therefore measurable data which are collected, processed, analyzed, and used to demonstrate, through a rigorous scientific approach, a research hypothesis or to verify the veracity of a given phenomenon. The quantitative study produced indicators that allowed the survey variables to be measured. As for the qualitative approach, it was used with the aim of better understanding the given social phenomenon. For this, we relied on participatory or other observations, individual or collective interviews, focus groups, the expression of opinions, opinions, and points of view of the subjects of the survey.

**Table 5** gives the results of the survey. It appears that young people without training and apprentices are the most motivated for entrepreneurship. Graduates and trainees are less motivated by entrepreneurship. This denotes the persistence of the "civil service" dynamic (**Figure 4**).

The civil service dynamic means only wanting to work for public administration, thus killing entrepreneurship. According to this survey on enthusiasm for entrepreneurship, only 2% of girls are very motivated and 5% are motivated against 25% of little motivated at the level of graduate girls. For girls in training, 0 and 10% are respectively very motivated and motivated 30% not very motivated and 8% not at all motivated. The apprentice girls and those without training are respectively 25 and 60% very motivated and motivated for entrepreneurship.
