Startup Journal: “The number of self-employed older people has been inching up for several years, even as the overall number of self-employed Americans has declined. It is a trend that AARP expects to accelerate after finding in a poll last summer that many people plan to keep working into their 70s or even later, and that 16% plan to work for themselves or start their own business. The sheer number of Baby Boomers headed into retirement also is likely propel this trend. The study also shows that the proportion of self-employed workers rises with typical working age, peaking at 24% of working women at age 66 and 38% of working men at age 65.”
