Abstract

This chapter looks at the combined regional curse of high unemployment and high levels of youth disengagement and seeks to establish the extent to which “enterprise” and specifically “social enterprise” can provide a common solution for both. While particularly entrenched in the Arab World, neither youth unemployment nor disengagement is unique to it, suggesting that we first need to look more broadly at what ails global socio-economic progress and how multiple failures to deliver equitable prosperity — partly, one could argue, due to the breakdown of modern capitalism — have fuelled and inspired the world of social innovation.
