Abstract

This article delves into the challenges faced by young people returning to their hometowns for entrepreneurship and employment, including financial shortages, lack of talent, complex market environments, insufficient policy support, lack of project innovation, and weak resource integration capabilities. It also proposes targeted solutions, such as increasing policy support, improving financial services, strengthening talent development, optimizing the market environment, and enhancing resource integration. The aim is to promote the healthy development of youth entrepreneurship and employment activities, thus contributing to rural revitalization.
