Abstract :

This study investigates the development of an entrepreneurial tradition among youth in Bondowoso Regency, Indonesia, in 2024. Drawing upon a qualitative methodology with a phenomenological approach, the research aims to understand the meanings and experiences of young entrepreneurs in the region. The findings highlight the interplay between supportive structures (family, education, social networks, and policy) and individual agency (rationalization, motivation, and reflective monitoring) in fostering entrepreneurial spirit. This study emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach that integrates both structural support and individual capacity building to cultivate a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem among the youth.
