Abstract: ?This article aims at improving the analysis of the particularities of self-employed women?s working time using the 2013 ? ?Working Conditions? ? survey ? ?(Enquête Conditions de travail)? ?. Although this category covers a wide range of situations, compared to the situation of employees, the standard profile is characterized by long daily and weekly durations on the one hand and atypical and unpredictable schedules on the other hand. The temporal availability at work of self-employed women is therefore high. This reality appears at odds with the rhetoric about how self-employment is supposed to promote flexibility and solve work and domestic life balance issues. Three groups are told apart according to the level of the highest diploma obtained. If time constraints are important for all self-employed women, the results also highlight the specific position of the less skilled. They combine long working time and low remunerations, raising the issue of the boundaries between domestic and professional life.?
