This study conflates starting any business with a starting a startup aiming to raise VC $$ and become a $100M+ business.
I'd venture there are hell of a lot more startups now than there were 15 or 20 years ago.
Other data indicates that the number of folks no longer starting a typical small business for reasons that are multivariate and its a trend that started in the 1970s, so has very little to do with Google/FB/Amaz/Apple/MSFT, and probably much more to do with the change in anti-trust enforcement which allowed the creation of predatory megacorps like Walmart.
