This integrative evidence review examines youth entrepreneurship and community-based economic empowerment by asking how youth entrepreneurship is connected to community-based economic empowerment and which conditions determine whether that connection becomes operationally meaningful. The article synthesizes peer-reviewed and institutional literature relevant to households, local communities, public services, and civic institutions, emphasizing mechanisms, boundary conditions, and measurement choices rather than a universal average effect. The synthesis identifies complementary roles for inclusive design and representation, geographic access, and governance or coordination routines. No survey, interview, experiment, proprietary dataset, or regression estimate is represented as having been collected for this conceptual review.
