Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyse the readiness of Daugavpils young people for entrepreneurship and to define the level of creative thinking. In 2016 the research “Readiness of Daugavpils youth for entrepreneurship” carried out based on the survey among Daugavpils young people showed that 54% of the respondents experience lack of ideas, which testifies to the fact that the young are not specifically creative. In 2017 the research into the creativity of Daugavpils youth was carried out with the use of E.P. Torrance test. According to the results of the research, Daugavpils youth in general think creatively within the normal limits, though there is also a big part of young people whose level of creative thinking according to E.P. Torrance test is lower than the norm.
