Policy brief on senior entrepreneurship: entrepreneurial activities in Europe

Abstract

As the population in the [European Union] EU continues to age, counteracting the resulting demographic forces is becoming increasingly important. Helping these people remain economically active has the potential to have important economic and social benefits, not only for the target group, but for society on the whole. This policy brief was prepared by the LEED (Local Economic and Employment Development) Division of the OECD with the financial support of the European Union, Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion. The brief emphasises the importance of a shift in entrepreneurship policy within this demographic, to encourage it to become more active. In this context, it examines a range of different initiatives and schemes that could be implemented to promote business start-ups by older people.
