“Self-Employment Transitions among Older Workers with Career Jobs”
| August 11, 2008 |  View for printing |
One-third of male workers between the ages of 51 and 61 are self-employed. This finding runs contrary to historical patterns where younger workers were more likely to be self-employed. The researchers suggest that older workers are more willing to take risks later in life if they are more highly educated and more skilled. In addition, workers without pensions or health insurance benefits were also more likely to pursue self-employment.
