Answer
The average age of self-employed individuals in the UK is 46 years old. This median age is also 46 years old and these figures are consistent across the three years from 2009-10 to 2011-12.
These estimates are based on the Survey of Personal Incomes (SPI) for the years concerned. The SPI for 2012-13 will be available later in the year.
