Abstract
The Experience Incubator as an economic empowerment modality for strengthening sustainability and self reliance in older persons.
THEME 2: Building sustainable, resilient, and self-reliant communities through indigenous modalities, inter-sectoral collaborations, and partnerships
SUB 2.3 Strengthening indigenous economic empowerment structures in responding during and after adverse situations
Oral Presentation
With only 1 in 6 South African’s having saved for retirement (Business Tech, 2022) and the ageing population growing at a rapid rate, the conservative retirement age limits formal work opportunities, rendering the majority of older persons destitute, vulnerable to abuse and financially dependent on the State or family.
In collaboration with the Global Institute for Experienced Entrepreneurship (GIEE); Tafta launched a Pilot Experience Incubator® (EI) Programme. This paper will explain how the EIP capacitates older people with entrepreneurial skills by utilising modules designed to support the development of ideas and expansion of existing businesses with marketing, financial and business skills. The program helps to build resilience and self-reliance in older persons through entrepreneurial opportunities whilst using their life experience to sustain and supplement their livelihood. It builds on the experiential knowledge and skills of older persons to promote their economic empowerment thereby enhancing their resilience and self-reliance.
