Self-employed persons without staff; personal characteristics 1996-2014

This table presents quarterly and annual figures on self-employed and employees by different background characteristics. The self-employed are specialised to two different groups, namely self-employed persons without staff and self-employed persons with staff and family members. The group of self-employed persons without staff is also special to self-employed persons without staff offering their own services and the self-employed without staff who mainly sell products or offer raw materials. The data refer to the working population, i.e. persons who live in the Netherlands and have paid employment of 12 hours or more per week. Data available from 1996 to 2014 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Amendments as of 26 February 2015 None, this table has been discontinued. Changes as of 13 February 2015: Quarterly figures for the fourth quarter of 2014 and the 2014 annual figure have been added. Amendments as of 14 November 2014: Quarterly figures for the third quarter of 2014 have been added. The number of self-employed people with multiple jobs can no longer be derived from 2013. It is no longer possible for this group to distinguish self-employed persons with one company and multiple clients from self-employed persons with multiple companies (and clients). Therefore, the 2013 and 2014 annual and quarterly figures on having multiple jobs in different types of self-employed and the active labour force that had already been published have been removed. When will there be new figures? This table has been discontinued. The update of 13 February 2015 was the last update of this table. New revised tables on the labour force were published on 26 February 2015. This revision of the statistics of the labour force has two components. The definitions have been adapted to the internationally agreed definitions and data collection has been improved by being the first statistical office in Europe to survey via the Internet. For more information on the revision, see the link to the press release in paragraph 3.
