The article aims to determine to what extent the implementation of the content of The Basics of Entrepreneurship can support young adults (those between 15 and 30 years old, according to the Central Statistical Office). It also investigates current reports on the economic situation of young adults in Poland and analyses the content of The Basics of Entrepreneurship’s core curriculum. Diagnosis of their economic situation, based on these reports, has shown that Polish young adults are professionally active, though there is a high unemployment rate among them. Young adults plan to continue their education not necessarily in line with labour market requirements preferring to work in someone else’s company, preferably as a member of a management team or a specialist, although they do not show too much commitment to their duties. The Basics of Entrepreneurship’s core curriculum contains educational content that responds to these needs, although it is not always sufficiently detailed.
