ENThe paper examines entrepreneurship as a measure for youth inclusion in the labor market, as well as causes, benefits and obstacles to starting a business, based on the experiences of students of Lithuanian higher education institutions. Although Lithuania implements a variety of measures intended for promoting student entrepreneurship, students remain in a worse situation in terms of opportunities for entrepreneurship than the remaining society. The purpose of the research is to study the reasons and obstacles for inclusion of the undergraduate students in entrepreneurship. The research of inclusion and participation of students in entrepreneurship revealed that only a small part of them were engaged in business. This is caused by unwillingness to be a hired employee. Students associate engaging in business with personal revenues, which they rate as the most significant benefit, while the main obstacle is the lack of information on starting a business.
