Retirement, Recessions and Older Small Business Owners
University of Kansas and University of Tennessee Link to more items from this source
Jan. 13, 2013
"[R]esearch indicates that the self-employed over age 50 expect to retire at older ages and have larger balances in their retirement savings accounts than their wage and salary counterparts. While these characteristics might make it easier for these older self-employed to weather recessionary financial storms, [the authors'] analysis does not reveal key differences in outcome variables during recessionary years.... [O]lder self-employed differ from their wage and salary counterparts in important ways including financial literacy, but these differences are not exacerbated or lessened during recessionary periods."
