Silver entrepreneurship: A golden opportunity for ageing society
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.18559/ebr.2024.1.1068Keywords:
aging population, silver economy, entrepreneurship, silver entrepreneurshipAbstract
This paper aims to discuss the notion of silver entrepre-neurship in the context of the silver economy. Policy-wise knowing who silver entrepreneurs are and what it takes to support them is an essential step to productively managing the ageing population and promoting an age-ready but age-friendly approach to creating a sustainable economy and society in the new demographic reality. The paper provides a theoretical and empirical literature review of silver entre-preneurship to identify the current state of the art. It also identifies selected policies and strategies aiming to foster silver entrepreneurship, representing a more inclusive and age-diverse entrepreneurial landscape. The silver entrepre-neurship proves to be a challenging research field due to the elusive nature of entrepreneurship itself and the lack of universal definitions for this phenomenon.
