ABSTRACT

This paper explores entrepreneurial activities and experiences. We do this to develop an understanding of the experiences and needs of a specific subgroup of entrepreneurs. We present insights from the silver economy based on the experiences of nine entrepreneurs who became entrepreneurs retiring from the public service. Data were collected in extended face-to-face interviews. The findings represent a detailed biography of each entrepreneur. The emergence of the silver economy provides opportunities for small enterprise development. The retirees who participated in this study are particularly well placed to pursue an entrepreneurial journey. They have key advantages in terms of access to resources and expertise, which are vital to entrepreneurship. In addition, they have both the capacity and the desire to continue working. We conclude that there is a need for tailored information; designated contact points; customized training and provisions in the revenue and welfare system to negate any impacts on pensions and other entitlements.

摘要

本文探讨了创业活动和经验。我们这样做是为了了解特定企业家小组的经验和需求。我们根据九位从公共服务部门退休的企业家的经验，介绍了对白银经济的见解。数据是在扩展的面对面访谈中收集的。调查结果代表了每位企业家的详细传记。白银经济的出现为小企业发展提供了机遇。参与这项研究的退休人员特别适合进行创业之旅。他们在获取资源和专业知识方面具有关键优势，这对创业至关重要。此外，他们既有能力又有继续工作的愿望。我们得出结论，需要量身定制的信息；指定联络点；收入和福利系统中的定制培训和规定，以消除对养老金和其他权利的任何影响。
