Abstract

A second career as an entrepreneur is often a viable solution for seniors. In the West, we have long been exposed to free enterprise, and many of us have the social and cultural capital required for success in entrepreneurship. We often see retirees embracing start-ups, with skills acquired over a lifetime. In China, where free enterprise was banned during several decades of the twentieth century, the picture for seniorpreneurs is particular—and this is the theme of this chapter.
