Abstract

There is a growing population of healthy older people with the skills, financial resources and time available to contribute to economic activity in Europe. The proportion of people over age 55 was 30% in 2010 in Europe and is expected to be approximately 37% by 2030. However, few older people are involved in entrepreneurship, particularly women. This chapter aims to summarize the current state regarding senior entrepreneurship in theory as well as praxis and to analyse the position of entrepreneurial activity of seniors in Europe. Results focus on what should policy do to promote business start-ups by female older people. The results of this study lead us to propose policies, which would foster senior women entrepreneurial activities in Europe.
