Abstract

Die Bevölkerung in Deutschland wird, wie in nahezu allen anderen Industrienationen, in den nächsten Jahrzehnten erheblich altern und zahlenmäßig schrumpfen. Diese als demografischer Wandel bezeichnete Entwicklung wird auch Auswirkungen auf das zukünftige Gründungsgeschehen haben. Denn die gründungsschwache Altersgruppe der über 45-Jährigen nimmt immer weiter zu, bei gleichzeitiger Abnahme der gegenwärtig gründungsstarken jüngeren Altersklassen. Mehrere Studien schätzen, dass der demografisch bedingte Rückgang der Gründungszahlen bis zum Jahr 2050 bis zu knapp 30 % betragen könnte. Ob dieser Rückgang tatsächlich eintreten wird, hängt allerdings entscheidend davon ab, wie sich das altersspezifische Gründungsverhalten in den kommenden Dekaden entwickeln wird. Um diese Fragen beantworten zu können, ist zunächst jedoch mehr Wissen über die aktuellen altersspezifischen Gründungsdeterminanten notwendig. Mit der Analyse solcher altersspezifischen Gründungsdeterminanten hat sich die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt. Die Ergebnisse belegen, dass sich jüngere und ältere Gründer stark unterscheiden. Die Ergebnisse liefern allerdings auch erste Hinweise, wie das Gründungsverhalten der Älteren beeinflusst werden kann.
