A recent Scottish Widows survey found that 49 per cent of those surveyed are planning an active retirement, with almost one-in-ten (eight per cent) planning to change careers and one-in-twenty starting their own business. Olderpreneurs are transforming retirement, combining health that is generally better than their parents’ was with a zeal for making a difference, in their and others’ lives. The number of new businesses being started by people over the age of 50 continues to grow.
