The Missing Entrepreneurs 2014 is the second edition in a series of annual reports that provide data and policy analysis on inclusive entrepreneurship, and on its barriers, by target social groups across the European Union. Inclusive entrepreneurship involves business start-ups and self-employment activities that contribute to economic growth and social inclusion - notably of youth, women, seniors, immigrants and the unemployed. In addition to inspiring policy practices, this issue contains special thematic chapters on entrepreneurship by ethnic minorities, pro-entrepreneurship welfare support systems and support for entrepreneurship from unemployment.

Inclusive entrepreneurship policy in the European Union,
Social inclusion is a longstanding policy priority for EU member states and the urgency for action has increased since the economic crisis as unemployment and labour market exclusion have increased. Entrepreneurship has the potential to be a part of the solution. Inclusive entrepreneurship policies aim to ensure that all members of society have an equal opportunity to start-up and operate in business and self-employment or to use the experience of engagement with entrepreneurship to increase their skills and employability. These policies aim to support those who face particular challenges in setting-up sustainable businesses – including women, youth, seniors, ethnic minorities, and people with disabilities – but at the same time have under-recognised potential for entrepreneurship.
