SOCIAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF RUSSIAN ENTREPRENEURS
УДК: 334.722.12
Аннотация:
All researchers of entrepreneurship admit that such social and economic characteristics as age,
gender, education, and income have signicant inuence on the desire to start an entrepreneurial
career and to found a business, thus being a major determinant of entrepreneurial landscape of the
country.
An analysis of entrepreneurs’ age structure reveals differences in age characteristics of
different types of people who start their own businesses. The age distribution of entrepreneurial
activity is shaped partly by the desire to create a business, which diminishes with age, and partly by
knowledge, skills, and capital, which increase with age. This helps explain the fact that the share of
older people is higher among owners of established businesses than among early stage
entrepreneurs.
