Raymond Saner (2025) “Emeriti Professors as entrepreneurs”
Emerald Publ. UK
Retirement and average life expectations in the European and North American regions indicate that retired persons, in general, are in good health between 60/65 to 80/85 years of age. Some use this window of longer life expectations to work because their pension fund is insufficient to live a decent life. Others enjoy the new freedom of not having to work and choose to explore interesting tourist attractions, cultural events and other activities like gardening or caring for their grandchildren. However, an increasing number of retirees express interest in continuing to work and engage in meaningful jobs or contribute to solving important societal problems. A small group who has accumulated financial resources during their work life is interested in sharing their knowledge and skills and helping new start-up companies or associations active in the solidarity and social economy.
