Summary/Abstract: Children and youth at risk and in conflict with the law often come from environments marked by poverty, parental unemployment, poor educational outcomes, social exclusion and lack of positive role models. Traditional repressive approaches have shown limited results. Contemporary policies increasingly emphasize the need for skills development, among which the development of entrepreneurship among youth is particularly emphasized. In this paper, we investigate the connection between skills development, or entrepreneurship, as a measure to prevent children from being at risk. We have set a research hypothesis that there is a connection between entrepreneurship, as a skill, and the need to further develop skills as a preventive measure to prevent children from being at risk. We conducted the research by surveying parents of children attending secondary school. The survey was conducted in the period January - February 2026. The results show that there is no significant correlation between the defined variables, which opens up space for further research.
