This article aims to examine the development of skillsentrepreneurship in an effort to promote the economic independence of the youth in an era of increasingly competitive global competition. The focus of the study is directed to the importance of entrepreneurial skills as the main provision for young people to create business opportunities, reduce unemployment levels, and enhance economic competitiveness. This article uses a literature study method (literature review) by examining various scientific sources such as books, research journals, and academic articles related to entrepreneurship, economic education, and human resource development. The results of the study show that (1) developing entrepreneurial skills through formal education, training, and mentoring programs plays an important role in shaping creative, innovative, and independent mindsets among the youth; and (2) the economic independence of the youth can be achieved if entrepreneurial skills are supported by access to capital, the use of digital technology, and a social environment that is conducive to business growth. In addition, entrepreneurial skills also have an impact on improving the youth’s ability to manage risk, make decisions, and create new jobs. The novelty of this article lies in the discussion that not only views entrepreneurship as an economic activity, but also as a process of character building, an independent mindset, and empowerment strategies for the youth in facing the ever-evolving challenges of the digital economy and globalization
