Is self-employment quality work?

Abstract

This chapter assesses the quality of self-employment, focusing on earnings, job stability and the quality of work environment. This analysis differentiates between different types of self-employment, notably those with and without employees and considers differences in the quality of self-employment across different social target groups such as women, youth, seniors and immigrants. In addition, the chapter examines the current policy discussion on the quality of dependent and “false” self-employment. Policy advice is provided on improving the quality of new business start-ups and on addressing false self-employment.
