INTRODUCTION
 Youth is the Future of every nation & inheritors of the
earth tomorrow. This statement stands true in every
sense. When a country has a healthy youth, population,
you will find the country making headway in terms of
overall development and progress.
 To understand how the coronavirus pandemic is
impacting young entrepreneurs and how they are
responding, is explained on the survey of 410 young
entrepreneurs across 18 countries and a wide range of
sectors. (Survey by Youth Co:Lab )
CONT….
 The results present a troubling picture of how already
vulnerable youth-led enterprises are struggling to
survive in the face of an unprecedented economic
shock. At the same time, the survey captured
inspiring stories of young entrepreneurs innovating to
support their communities to respond.
 9 out of 10 young entrepreneurs in Asia Pacific report
that corona virus has negatively impacted their
business.
 1. 86% of young entrepreneurs reported that coronavirus
has negatively impacted their business. Among these, 1 in
3 report a major slowdown, and 1 in 4 have stopped
entirely. A catering enterprise in Malaysia has put business
on hold, saying, “We have cooks quarantined, bookings
cancelled, investment postponed, and a co-owner
stranded”.
 2. Of the young entrepreneurs who report that coronavirus
has negatively impacted their business, 88% have
experienced reduced customer demand, 34% have
experienced supply chain disruptions, 26% cannot
progress government business, and 25% have
experienced distribution disruption. An agritech start-up in
Bangladesh provides one example, “Our entire R&D
process has stumbled because lab facilities are completely
shut down.”
 3. As a result of the negative outlook, 35% of young
entrepreneurs have had to lay off staff or reduce staff
hours, 25% have had to cancel orders from suppliers, 25%
have had to postpone investments, and 24% have had to
reduce wages. An ecotourism enterprise in the Philippines
explained why they have had to lay off most of their 20
staff, “All our packages have been cancelled, and future
guests have requested deposit refunds”.
 4. 86% of young entrepreneurs reported a decrease in
financial turnover in the last month and 43% have had to
borrow or reach into savings. A skincare business in
Indonesia unable to purchase inputs or distribute their
products has had to borrow 3 months’ operating
expenditure to survive.
 5. Looking at impacts across different sectors, enterprises
in the consumer products, tourism, arts, events and
hospitality sectors report the most negative impacts.
Unsurprisingly, enterprises in the technology,
telecommunications and education sectors report the least
negative impacts.

CONT….
 6. Only 9.5% of young entrepreneurs reported that their
business has received a tax break, loan, grant, subsidy,
or other form of support. Enterprises in the Philippines,
Indonesia and Thailand mentioned tax deadline
extensions, and enterprises in South Korea welcomed
VAT cuts for small businesses.
 7. 30% of young entrepreneurs said they have
connected with other entrepreneurs to discuss business
strategies to survive the coronavirus crisis.
Entrepreneurs in Bhutan and the Philippines particularly
welcomed the support they had received from
entrepreneur community groups.
 Despite these negative impacts, the survey also revealed
inspiring ways in which youth-led enterprises across Asia-Pacific
are innovating to support their communities to combat corona
virus and build back better. Youth-led enterprises are fighting
misinformation, mobilising community action to protect the
vulnerable, and developing innovative new products and
services.
For example:
 AI4GOV in the Philippines is working with national agencies to
develop a COVID-19 digital triage bot for medical professionals
to triage cases and create predictive modelling of people
infected.
 Moner Bondhu in Bangladesh is offering remote mental health
services to people in quarantine and fighting misinformation
about corona virus online.
 AccessiWheels – one of Youth Co:Lab Philippines 2019 winners
– is connecting drivers to community members to reach
hospitals while public transport is suspended.
DIFFERENT MAJOR SUPPORT TO SURVIVE
YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR
 At the same time, in the face of such a deep economic shock,
youth-led enterprises are also relying on support. Survey
respondents were asked what measures would help them to
survive the crisis. The measures most commonly cited were:
 Tax exemptions
 Loans
 Rent and utility relief
 Social protection
 Incentives
 Emergency relief and stimulus
 Business transition
 Other: Use control measures to manage disruption to supply
chains and to ensure imports of vital products.
