According to the World Bank, 44 million people have been pushed into extreme poverty (surviving on less than USD$1.25 per day) since food prices started soaring in June 2010.In 2010, 925 million people went hungry all over the world with poverty being the major cause of hunger.Also in 2010, 78 million youths were unemployed worldwide according to the International Labour Organisation.All these and more is happening at a time when our world is at its peak in terms of cross-border connectivity, exposure to and awareness of international issues and most importantly, technological advancements that we take so much of pride and obsession in.Creativity, innovation, wealth creation and accumulation, fund-raising efforts, number of NGOs and social enterprises’ and educational standards are apparently all at their pinnacles.We have never been, as global citizens, in a better position to reduce social, environm weight loss tips ental and economic problems around us. So why than, is the exact reverse taking place?Entrepreneurship has a larger role to play today than it did ever before. I do not mean entrepreneurship only in the sense of a process of starting an innovative start-up but rather a set of life skills as well.You see there is plenty of entrepreneurship being talked about and even practiced in the sense that we commonly know of.  In September 2010 alone, 4600 over companies were registered in Singapore with 74% having a share capital of below $10,000.  Tech-based firms with innovative offerings remain the preferred choice of angel investors, government linked fundings and even business plan competition wins.But entrepreneurship must go deeper than all of that to serve its true purpose and to really help us create a better world. Entrepreneurship for a better world is about 3 key aspects values, skills and platforms.
