Rising self-employment in the midst of high unemployment : an empirical analysis of recent developments in Canada / by Zhengxi Lin, Janice Yates and Garnett Picot. : CS11-0019/133E
Are people being 'pushed' into self-employment because they cannot find paid employment or do they 'pull' themselves into it because they enjoy all the comparative advantages associated with being their own boss...? Are these jobs stable in the sense that once in people tend to remain self-employed for a relatively long period of time, implying low levels of turnovers, especially exists; or is self-employment simply a stop-gap that people use until they find a paid job, implying significant entry and exit movements?... This paper attempts to address the first question... Issues surrounding the second question on the entry and exit dynamics of self-employment will be dealt with in a companion paper at the individual level.--Page 1
