The Ecosystem Ideal and Local Neoliberalism of the Young Entrepreneur. The Millennials’ Entrepreneurial Environment in Slovenia

Sažetak

This paper is about the young entrepreneur as an emerging social agent in contemporary Slovenia. Young entrepreneurs are affected by both an ideal sociality of entrepreneurial ecosystems and the small scale of their environment. This paper argues that while the former is promoted as a tool for strengthening local communities and a means of moving toward a prosperous future, the later prevents its actualization but provides security for young people. Family and other established social relationships are of considerable importance for maintaining young entrepreneurs’ careers.
