Abstract: One in seven people in the UK workforce is now in self-employment - but this is a very diverse community. Jack Blundell is developing a typology of self-employed workers, which can then be used to assess differences in how satisfied they are with their working lives and to identify vulnerable groups who may benefit from policy support.
