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. 606 $aSelf-employed 606 $aEquality 606 $aSocial status 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSelf-employed. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aSocial status. 676 $a331.12 686 $a83.82$2bcl 686 $a85.65$2bcl 701 $aArum$b Richard$0741013 701 $aMu?ller$b Walter$f1942-$01055526 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910455255403321 996 $aThe reemergence of self-employment$92489029 997 $aUNINA
