abstract: 'Self-employment is one of the two main non-standard work forms
|
||||
|
||||
(different from regular full-time employment) in Quebec and Canada.
|
||||
|
||||
Although some research has documented the differences between the
|
||||
|
||||
own-account self-employed and those who are employers, little is known
|
||||
|
||||
about the diversity of situation among the own-account self-employed,
|
||||
|
||||
the subcategory which underwent tremendous growth between 1976 and 2000,
|
||||
|
||||
with a slight drop since that time. The present research, based on a
|
||||
|
||||
sample of 293 respondents whose main job in 2000 was own-account
|
||||
|
||||
self-employment, analyses such diversity through five dimensions: the
|
||||
|
||||
worker''s characteristics, the type of clientele, the nature of the
|
||||
|
||||
product, the organization of work (including remuneration) and finally
|
||||
|
||||
the level and the type of protection against social and professional
|
||||
|
||||
hazards.
|
||||
|
||||
A multiple correspondence analysis revealed two main axes of opposition
|
||||
|
||||
among the sample. The first axis spreads out between two extreme
|
||||
|
||||
positions: at one end of the continuum stand the self-employed who are
|
||||
|
||||
economically independent with a high number of customers, mostly
|
||||
|
||||
individuals, while at the other end are those with only few customers,
|
||||
|
||||
mostly firms, one of which provides half or more of the worker''s income.
|
||||
|
||||
Generally speaking, the former tend to control their work while the
|
||||
|
||||
latter tend to be controlled by their clients. The second axis opposes
|
||||
|
||||
professionals, whose work requires a university degree, to other
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed. The former tend to combine the advantages of a high level
|
||||
|
||||
of education and experience, participation in the networks and a
|
||||
|
||||
superior income, which allow them to purchase protection plans against
|
||||
|
||||
social risks, especially health and disability insurance plans,
|
||||
|
||||
professional training and individual pension plans. On the opposite end,
|
||||
|
||||
non-professionals tend to have less experience, less participation in
|
||||
|
||||
the networks, and a lower income; in general they do not acquire
|
||||
|
||||
protection plans and rely on themselves and their families to address
|
||||
|
||||
professional hazards and life''s hazards.
|
||||
|
||||
A cluster analysis helped identify six types, five of which were
|
||||
|
||||
statistically differentiated:
|
||||
|
||||
- Non-professional independents who control their work but are lacking
|
||||
|
||||
protection against risks;
|
||||
|
||||
- Small, dependant producers whose customers mainly control the work;
|
||||
|
||||
these self-employed are not especially associated with a specific
|
||||
|
||||
professional profile nor with a specific level of protection;
|
||||
|
||||
- Liberal professionals who mainly control their work but must deal with
|
||||
|
||||
the intervention of outside forces in establishing pay rates and other
|
||||
|
||||
contractual terms. Among the sample, they are the most protected against
|
||||
|
||||
risks but have to pay for those protections;
|
||||
|
||||
- Advisors and consultants who are set apart by controlling the
|
||||
|
||||
contractual modalities more than the average self-employed; they also
|
||||
|
||||
pay for protections but in a lower proportion than liberal
|
||||
|
||||
professionals;
|
||||
|
||||
- Other independents and those who combine self-employment and
|
||||
|
||||
nonstandard work forms (part-time, temporary or contract employment);
|
||||
|
||||
they have a great deal in common with the members of the first group,
|
||||
|
||||
but are more educated;
|
||||
|
||||
- A small group of professionals enjoying collective labour agreements,
|
||||
|
||||
under which their clients share the cost of protection programs against
|
||||
|
||||
certain social and professional risks.
|
||||
|
||||
The results of this research tend to support the hypothesis related to
|
||||
|
||||
the heterogeneity of the own-account self-employment category, beyond
|
||||
|
||||
the traditional dichotomies comparing qualified professionals
|
||||
|
||||
controlling their work to non-professionals with little qualification
|
||||
|
||||
and control. Incidentally, the results explain part of this diversity by
|
||||
|
||||
the blurring of boundaries between the two polar forms of work, wage and
|
||||
|
||||
salary vs. self-employment, as they have been legally defined. Indeed, a
|
||||
|
||||
portion of own-account self employed does not fully control its work
|
||||
|
||||
while another part, smaller, does not bear all the risks linked to work.'
