What is also characteristic in the rural areas : The overall situation of agriculture in rural areas, High level of unemployment prevailing among the population in rural areas, The village is perceived as a place that do not meet the aspirations of young people.

Conclusions It is difficult to define the term " enterprise" or „enterpreneurship”, as it is a multi-faceted concept of heterogeneous content. The behavioral approach is the dominant. Entrepreneurship of the Young is desirable in rural areas due to the multifunctional rural development policy. Analysis of problems showed that young people from rural areas are facing worse conditions than their peers in urban areas in terms of entrepreneurship. The same factors can become barriers if they are not properly functioning and will not be developed.

Analysis of available data on entrepreneurship has shown, however, that an extensive research on youth entrepreneurship in rural areas has not yet been carried out. Current transfers of entrepreneurship in Poland refer either to the general state of our country, or the entrepreneurial attitudes of Poles in general. What is lacking is data imaging and characterizing entrepreneurship of young inhabitants of the countryside, which is obviously a big loss to the society and action must be taken to supplement the knowledge of rural sociology and rural youth entrepreneurial attitudes.
