Abstract
Using Kingdon’s multiple streams framework, this article analyzes the processes of problem definition, policy proposal, and political decision-making surrounding the relative dearth of millennial participation in social entrepreneurship. Prominent problem definitions emphasize increases in student loan debt and competing interests as impediments to millennial participation in social enterprise. Policy proposals to increase social entrepreneurship relevant to millennials emphasize networking, business incubators, and tax changes that provide education and opportunity to millennial social entrepreneurs without increasing their student loan debt. Political factors relevant to millennials include uncertainty regarding loan forgiveness and tax credits for social entrepreneurs. Implications for future millennial participation in social entrepreneurship are discussed. [Obtained permission from the publisher to make this article open access.
