More than 20 million older adults are at risk of not having enough income to meet their basic needs. AARP Foundation’s Work for Yourself@50+ makes it easy for older adults to explore options for self-employment and increase their financial stability.

Self-employment is a viable option for many older adults who want to work on their own terms.

  • A growing number of 50+ adults are starting their own businesses or working for themselves.
  • Individuals aged 55-65 account for 65% of all startups
  • The economy has changed. And while older adults with limited income can benefit from the gig economy, it’s not easy to find information you can trust.

Work for Yourself@50+ has the knowledge, support and resources you need to make smart business decisions.
