【Abstract】

Entrepreneurship requires energy and creativity as well as business acumen. Some factors that contribute to entrepreneurship decline with age, but business skills increase with experience in high level positions. Having too many older workers in society slows entrepreneurship. When older workers occupy key positions, they block younger workers from acquiring skills. A theory is formulated and tested using the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor data. A one standard deviation decrease in a country’s median age increases new business formation by 2.5 percentage points, which is about forty percent of the mean rate. Furthermore, older societies have lower rates of entrepreneurship at every age.

【Introduction of Presenter】

梁建章是携程旅行网(NASDAQ: CTRP)的联合创始人和董事局主席。斯坦福大学经济学博士，被誉为“企业家中最好的人口学者”。2007年赴美留学，师从“管理经济学之父”爱德华·拉泽尔（Edward Lazear）和诺贝尔经济学奖得主盖瑞·贝克（Gary Becker）。2012年，梁建章与北京大学社会学系、社会学人类学研究所教授李建新合作出版《中国人太多了吗？》一书，从经济发展、创业创新、大国竞争的视角，直言 “只有尽快放开生育，中国的发展才能持续”。后来，这本书又加上了黄文政的观点，改名为《中国人可以多生》。全面放开二孩政策，身为人口学者的梁建章先生功不可没。
