I wonder if these numbers have changed much since july 09

"American Public Media research says the average tech-company founder is 39 and entrepreneurs over 50 outnumber those under 25 by a two-to-one margin. "

I guess young people don't have the money to risk in a business of their own.

I think lack of money to risk in a business is not the main reason why young people not starting their own company. It is more about the mind set.

I disagree, I think its about money, everyone feels they need capital. Which often times they do. Also its a risky move not to push for education as a fall back in case your business doesnt work out.
