Abstract
This study investigates the role of fostering an entrepreneurial spirit as a strategic mechanism to mitigate the phenomenon of illegal immigration among Algerian youth. Utilizing a deductive approach within a quantitative research design, data were collected via a structured questionnaire distributed to a purposive sample of 70 youths in the Chlef province, yielding 58 valid responses. The conceptual framework explores four primary dimensions of the entrepreneurial spirit: social, familial, economic, and financial backgrounds. Data analysis, conducted using SPSS v.25, included descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and simple linear regression. The findings reveal a statistically significant impact of all four entrepreneurial dimensions on deterring illegal immigration, with the social background exhibiting the highest explanatory power (R2 = 0.521). Furthermore, while demographic variables such as gender and age showed no significant variances in attitudes, educational level and occupational status significantly influenced perspectives on immigration. The study concludes that cultivating an entrepreneurial ecosystem—bolstered by targeted educational programs, specialized financial instruments (including Islamic finance), and robust institutional support—is critical to retaining human capital and reducing clandestine migration.
