Which is a better group of Entrepreneurs - Young or Older?

[Kurt]

Research by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) shows that
entrepreneurs over the age of 35 accounted for 80 percent of “total
entrepreneurial activity” in 2009, meaning the planning, setting up,
and managing of new businesses. Entrepreneurs under 35, on the other
hand, were responsible for only 19.1 percent of entrepreneurial
activity, the research finds.

And gray entrepreneurs outpacing green ones isn’t an isolated trend
that’s only occurred in the past few years. “In every single year from
1996 to 2007, Americans between the ages of 55 and 64 had a higher
rate of entrepreneurial activity than those aged 20-34,” says Dane
Stangler, a research manager at Kauffman. She argues in a paper that
the decline of lifetime employment, longer lifespan, and the effect of
the current recession are all contributing to increases in
entrepreneurial activity amongst older generations.
