中國內地企業家四成未滿35歲且半數是女性
The rise of the new entrepreneurs on Chinese mainland has posed challenge to the traditional concept of "entrepreneurs", says a report released by HSBC Private Bank on Dec. 8, 2015.
據匯豐私人銀行的12月8日發佈的報道顯示，中國內地新一代企業家的崛起正在對傳統意義上"企業家"這一概念形成挑戰。The report says entrepreneurs on the mainland are becoming younger and relying more on family and connections. 40 percent of these entrepreneurs are under 35, and 50 percent are women. The number female entrepreneurs and their wealth are much higher than their counterparts in western countries.
報道顯示，內地企業家日益年輕化，也更倚重家族和人脈的支持。此外，內地企業家四成未滿35歲，且半數是女性，而這些女企業家比例和富裕程度均高於西方。
The most important finding in this survey is the difference in influence of the family and connection on entrepreneurs between the West and East. 54 percent of Asian entrepreneurs surveyed are from families with enterprises, 10 percent higher than the number in the West. On Chinese mainland, the percentage of this group is even higher — 62 percent of the surveyed entrepreneurs are from families that already own companies.
本次調查中最引人注目的發現是家族和人脈對東西方企業家的影響力的差異。超過半數的(54%)受訪亞洲企業家來自擁有企業的家族，高出西方10個百分點以上。而在中國內地，該比例明顯更高，有超過六成(62%)的受訪企業家來自已經擁有企業的家族。
In terms of the source of startup capital, 49 percent of Asian entrepreneurs got their startup capital from their families, 26 percent of them got from friends or acquaintances. While in Western societies, only 24 percent of the entrepreneurs got the funds from their families, 9 percent from acquaintances. On Chinese mainland, family fortune plays a much more important role in starting up a business: 61 percent of the entrepreneurs surveyed started their business with money from family, and 32 percent got the money from others' investment.
關於創業的啓動資金來源，近半數的(49%)亞洲受訪企業家利用家族財富作爲創業資金，而有26%會尋求朋友或熟人投資。在西方，僅有24%的受訪企業家利用家族財富作爲創業資金，而尋求朋友或熟人資助的比例尚不足十分之一(9%)。在中國內地，家族財富對創業的作用則顯得更加重要：超過六成(61%)的受訪企業家以此爲創業資金，約三分之一(32%)會向朋友或熟人尋求資助。The average age of entrepreneurs on Chinese mainland is 30, contrasting the average age of 34 in Western countries and 29 in Asia. Among the mainland entrepreneurs surveyed, 44 percent of them are under 35.
內地企業家創業的平均年齡爲30歲，而西方平均年齡爲34歲，亞洲爲29歲。其中，四成以上(44%)受訪的內地企業家的年齡未滿35歲。Another important finding in the survey is that of all the Asian entrepreneurs surveyed, 40 percent of them are women. On Chinese mainland, 37 percent of entrepreneurs surveyed are female and over 52 percent of them are under the age of 35. In comparison, the percentage of female entrepreneurs in the West is only 31 percent. The average asset of female entrepreneurs on the mainland is 4 million dollars, exceeding male entrepreneurs' 3.5 million dollars.
調查中另一個重要的發現是所有受訪的亞洲企業家中四成（40%）爲女性。在中國內地，超37%的受訪企業家爲女性，其中過半（52%）年齡在35歲以下。相比之下，西方市場女企業家中比例僅爲約三分之一（31%）。內地女企業家的資產平均爲400萬美元，高於內地男企業家350萬美元的資產均值。
