Google asked over a 1,000 British teenagers if they wanted to launch a startup and most of them said no

The vast majority of teenage Brits aren't interested in starting their own business, according to a survey commissioned by Google that paints a worrying picture for the future of British entrepreneurship. Through the programme, Google said groups of students aged 16-18 from schools across the UK will visit Campus London for half-day workshops run by startup experts and entrepreneurs. Visitors will be given ongoing access to mentorship, Google said. Sarah Drinkwater, head of Campus London, said in a statement: "No matter what their eventual career, we know that teaching students about entrepreneurship builds critical thinking, communication and collaboration skills. These are highly important skills for young people as they prepare to enter the world of work, but can also ensure that the UK’s startup ecosystem flourishes in the years to come. The Future Founders programme builds on previous programmes from Google Campus, including baby-friendly start-up school "Campus for Mums and Dads" and Founders Over 50.
