Abstract

This research study aims to find out and describe the contribution of the younger generation in developing social entrepreneurship at this time. Using the literature study method. Data were collected from a variety of relevant sources, such as journal articles and research reports of the past five years, and analyzed qualitatively descriptively. The research findings show that the younger generation functions as agents of change capable of generating social innovation by leveraging digital technologies, such as social media, online platforms, and artificial intelligence, to increase social impact. In addition, the participation of the younger generation in social entrepreneurship is fueled by social values, such as empathy, caring, and solidarity, which do not focus solely on financial gain. However, in practice, the younger generation still faces various challenges, such as limited access to capital, lack of experience and skills, and suboptimal policy support and social entrepreneurship ecosystem. Internal factors such as low self-confidence are also barriers in building the intention to be social entrepreneurs. For this reason, it is necessary to improve efforts through entrepreneurship education, training, and support from various parties, including the government, educational institutions, and the community. Then with the right support, the young generation has great potential to develop social entrepreneurship as an innovative and sustainable solution for inclusive social and economic development.
