This book presents results of a cross-national research project on self-employment in eleven advanced economies and demonstrates how and why the practice is reemerging in modern societies. While traditional forms of self-employment, such as skilled crafts work and shop keeping, are in decline, they are being replaced by self-employment in both professional and unskilled occupations. Differences in self-employment across societies depend on the extent to which labor markets are regulated and the degree to which intergenerational family relationships are a primary factor structuring social organization. For each of the eleven countries analyzed, the book highlights the extent to which social background, educational attainment, work history, family status, and gender affect the likelihood that an individual will enter--and continue--a particular type of self-employment. While involvement with self-employment is becoming more common, it is occurring for individuals in activities that are more diverse, unstable and transitory than in years past.

The findings of a series of cross-national studies of self-employment are synthesized.Using a theoretical framework that assumes individuals become and stay self-employed when the relative advantages are higher than in dependent employment, the cross-national similarities and differences among the findings are discussed, and several empirical propositions are advanced in order to summarize those findings. According to the first proposition, self-employment has developed into a more heterogeneous employment category and is marked by increases in professional-managerial and unskilled occupations.Another proposition suggests that education, particularly post-secondary and vocational, facilitates movement into desirable forms of self-employment, while still another suggests that entry into self-employment is generally a midcareer move.Among the other propositions is the suggestion that women differ from men in their relative resources, opportunities, and constraints and therefore have different patterns and determinants of self-employment. Finally, unemployed individuals have higher incentives to move into self-employment than dependent employees with similar characteristics.The theoretical and policy implications of these generalizations are also discussed.

The book presents an analysis of the transition from unemployment to self-employment and its subsidisation with the so-called "bridging allowance" in Germany. On the basis of econometric models, the determinants and the success of self-employment among former unemployed are estimated at the individual as well as at the firm level. By comparing different groups of the formerly unemployed, it becomes evident that self-employment is one successful route out of unemployment, as self-employment proves to be more stable than paid-employment. Therefore, the bridging allowance reaches its aim of regaining stable employment for the unemployed. However, this programme fails to create additional employment in the newly founded firms.

The reemergence of self-employment in mostWestern European countries since the 1980s is seen as a reaction to changes inthe organization of work in Europe, and not necessarily an effect of economicmodernization. The development and features of self-employment are traced ineight Western European countries (Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, theNetherlands, Portugal, Spain, and the UK), and the ways in which workingpatterns are determined by different economic and structural environments areanalyzed. The analysis is based on data obtained from the European Labor ForceSurvey from 1983 to 1997, using mainly respondents' self-definition ofdependent employee or self-employed. Three reasons are found most important for the rise of self-employment: (1)changes in cultural and sociodemographic issues; (2) institutional andpolitical arrangements; and (3) structural changes in the economic,technological, and organizational environments. Differences in the industrialcomposition of the eight countries are examined to determine cross-nationaldissimilarities in self-employment patterns. Although self-employment hasincreased in almost every Western European country, various causes in thedevelopment of self-employment are identified, and differences in thedistribution of self-employment between Northern and Southern Europeancountries are revealed.

Since the 1970s the long term decline in self-employment has slowed – and even reversed in some countries – and the prospect of ‘being your own boss’ is increasingly topical in the discourse of both the general public and within academia. Traditionally, self-employment has been associated with independent entrepreneurship, but increasingly it has become a form of precarious work. This book utilises evidence-based information to address both the current and future challenges of this trend as the nature of self-employment changes, as well as to demonstrate where, when and why self-employment has emerged as precarious work in Europe.

This paper seeks to understand the returns to self-employment. The analysis is motivated by the empirical puzzle that most entrepreneurs enter and persist in self-employment, despite lower initial earnings and earnings growth (Hamilton, 2000). I propose a new hypothesis to make sense of this observation. In particular, reported income is unlikely to be a good measure of the return to self-employment given the underreporting incentive, and opportunities available to business owners. Moreover, business owners also have access to multiple avenues for compensating themselves and their employees. As such, any survey of business owners will face great difficulties in capturing the many ways in which business income can be received. As evidence for the potential importance of such understating, Slemrod (2007) reports that the evasion rate amongst non-farm proprietorships varies between 18 and 57 percent depending on industry. In this paper, I make use of the PSID to test my hypothesis. The estimation strategy relies on the presumption that reported consumption by the self-employed will not be systematically misreported, even though income can easily be. The results indicate that individuals report earning 27 percent less but appear to consume 5 percent more in self-employment. This implies a 32 percent differential between reported wage and consumption for the selfemployed, indicating that the former measure is not a good barometer of the financial returns to self-employment. Furthermore, this increased consumption does not seem to be offset by higher uncertainty as evidenced by my finding, that the variance in consumption while selfemployed is not significantly different than that in wage employment. Other results include that the self-employed work longer hours and that consumption is the same as that prior to self-employment for those who return to wage employment.
