More about the book

The book explores the resurgence of self-employment, particularly among women, in the context of globalization and labor market flexibility. It investigates the differing mechanisms that lead to self-employment for men and women, utilizing event history analysis to assess individual and structural factors affecting entry and exit from self-employment. Additionally, it compares earnings and job satisfaction between self-employed individuals and wage workers. Aimed at professionals and policymakers in developing countries, it also serves researchers in labor market studies and globalization.
