This study intends to be a further contribution to the growing academic research on Silver Economy and seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the emerging phenomenon of senior entrepreneurship. Therefore, the main objective of this study was to investigate the current status of a particular aspect of the Silver Economy, the senior entrepreneurship. In order to achieve this objective, a bibliographic search based on the words “Silver Economy” and “Entrepreneurship” was conducted in the Scopus and WoS databases. Subsequently, for each article, it was collected information about authorship, publication date, country, type of study, methods, objectives and findings. The sixteen selected studies took place in America, Asia, Europe and Oceania; 82.4% were based on secondary data and quantitative and qualitative studies were evenly distributed (50%). The publications aimed to: analyze the association between the level and dynamics of population aging and the development of entrepreneurship in the senior population; investigate the concept of Silver Economy and the phenomenon of senior entrepreneurship, in its essence, nature, characteristics, challenges and leadership styles; examine financial literacy differences between older and younger entrepreneurs; identify internal factors that affect entrepreneurial activity; know the perceptions that individuals have about entrepreneurship and know their impact on entrepreneurial intention; highlight the potential of older people for businesses and the economy; report experiences of individuals who have followed an entrepreneurial journey after retirement; and determine the effects of motives and attitudes on well-being and personal and professional fulfilment of entrepreneurs comparing the elderly with the younger ones.
