This Master’s thesis aims to determine the problems faced by young entrepreneurs benefiting from state support in Turkey. It describes and examines the results of a survey completed by more 1,000 young entrepreneurs benefiting from the KOSGEB Entrepreneurship Support Program. The survey participants were asked about four different subjects. The impact of gender differences, education level, regions, and sector of entrepreneurs on problems of young entrepreneurs were also investigated. The results were interpreted and analyzed statistically. The problems of young entrepreneurs who benefit from state support in Turkey are compared with those of young entrepreneurs in other countries.
