Abstract

Part of this research project (Task 1) provided an overview of the policy literature on selfemployment and entrepreneurship in Europe where emphasis was placed on differentiating between self-employment and entrepreneurship, the key policies at EU and national leveland the quality and sustainability of self-employment. Following on from this, emphasis isplaced on the characteristics of the self-employed and entrepreneurs. This report mapspatterns of self-employment in Europe, identifying critical factors that contribute to long termsurvival, innovation and growth (http://www.style-research.eu/project/work-packages/wp7-self-employment/). It provides an analysis of self-employment pre and post the recent financial and economic crisis and identifies patterns in self-employment and potential changes to these patterns over time. It also identifies long term structural trends. In addition, these macro-level relationships are examined at a national level with a particular focus on six European Union (EU, hereafter) Member States: Estonia, Germany, Ireland, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom.
