Since 2013 unemployment (including youth unemployment) in some regions of Latvia has decreased; but still, there has been a high level of unemployment in Latgale region and in other rural areas forcing population to leave the country in search of work abroad. The real situation of employment is not reflected in Latvian statistics because not all people who are out of work are registered at the State Employment Agency and therefore the figures are not absolutely accurate. This situation has a negative impact on Latvian economy as a whole, as there is no increase in the economically active population who is paying taxes and who increase government revenue. The fall in Latvian national population in rural areas and small cities negatively affects the number of customers who are able to purchase products or services in sufficient quantity; that is the main reason why the entrepreneurship situation in many Latvian rural regions is critical and their future development is unclear. It is important to encourage young people’s interest in entrepreneurship development, which is export oriented.
