New research released by Civic Ventures, a think tank on boomers, work and social purpose, shows that in a tough employment market, millions of Americans in their 40s, 50s and 60s are interested in creating jobs for themselves and others.
“Encore Entrepreneurs: Creating Jobs, Meeting Needs,” which was funded by MetLife Foundation and conducted by Penn Schoen Berland, shows:
- Approximately 25 million people – one in four Americans ages 44-70 – are interested in starting businesses or nonprofit ventures in the next five to 10 years.
The Civic Ventures research reports funded by MetLife Foundation are based on research conducted by Penn Schoen Berland from June to October, 2011. The research consists of three separate quantitative surveys:
- A Nationally Representative Telephone Survey of Americans ages 44-70
- An Online Survey of Americans Currently in or Interested in Encore Careers ages 44-70 and currently living in the United States
- An Online Survey of Potential Entrepreneurs age 44-70 and currently living in the United States
