The Self‐Employed: Providing for the Self‐Providers

Author

  • David Williams

Abstract

A 1997 ISSA European conference produced a series of papers about providing social security to the self‐employed, published in May 1998 in a separate volume. In this article, David Williams reviews these and examines points that warrant further attention. He finds that the papers confirm the difficulties of generalizing about social security and the self‐employed in Europe. They identify problems in identification, funding and delivery, but also general trends towards self‐employment that accentuate these difficulties. The papers offer conflicting solutions. Williams challenges the premise behind some by asking whether self‐employment should be regarded as the rule rather than the exception in handling these issues.
