Entrepreneurship, Self-Employment and Retirement presents a collection of nine studies which contribute to a more robust and richer understanding of entrepreneurship, self-employment and retirement in a diversity of settings, including the Netherlands, Canada, the United Kingdom, Singapore and the US, by drawing on both qualitative and quantitative data. By presenting these diverse accounts of pre- and post-retirement self-employment, this volume broadens and enriches existing knowledge about this distinct form of entrepreneurship, and contributes theoretically, methodologically and empirically to an embryonic yet fascinating field.
