Handbook of Research on Entrepreneurship and Aging

Edited by Mikaela Backman, Charlie Karlsson () and Orsa Kekezi

in Books from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Many developed countries are facing a demographic change with an increasing share of older individuals, yet little is known about how older workers will impact regional and national economies in terms of labor market dynamics. This Handbook deals with the important and emerging field of entrepreneurship among this group and focuses on the behavioral perspectives of this phenomenon; on innovation, dynamics and performance; and the ways entrepreneurship among the elderly looks within different countries.
