Youth Entrepreneurship in Fairfield, Sydney, Australia

Interview transcripts conducted for a paper exploring how the socioeconomic history of a multicultural area predominated with refugee family businesses may impact the present entrepreneurship culture, intent, and practices to provide foundation for further studies in the area. Interview was conducted on Fairfield entrepreneurs, aged 18-35 years old, and key stakeholders such as the Fairfield City Council. Most of the entrepreneurs were born and raised in the area and stayed to operate their business there, with the exception of one who moved to a different area to operate their business and one who moved into the area and have been operating their business from the area. Fairfield is a local government area (LGA) in Sydney, Australia, known for its multicultural landscape with more than half of the population being born outside of Australia.
