Fraser Institute Media Advisory: New business startup rates—why are they declining in the U.S.? New study coming Thursday, May 17

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 16, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — On Thursday, May 17, the Fraser Institute will release a new study on aging populations and entrepreneurship across the developed world, including the United States.

Demographics and Entrepreneurship: Mitigating the Effects of an Aging Population spotlights how a major demographic change in the U.S. and beyond is affecting new small businesses. The study also outlines how governments can foster greater levels of entrepreneurship.

The study—a collection of essays released in a book—is a collaboration between Canada’s Fraser Institute, the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in the U.S., the Adam Smith Institute’s The Entrepreneur Network in Britain and the Institute of Public Affairs in Australia.

A news release with additional information will be issued via GlobeNewswire on Thursday, May 17 at 5:00 a.m. (Eastern).
