Self‐Employed People in the United Kingdom: Included or Excluded?

Anne Corden

International Social Security Review, 1999, vol. 52, issue 1, 31-47

Abstract: Within the United Kingdom social security scheme, self‐employed people remain excluded from some of the most valuable benefits, yet there is some evidence to suggest underuse of benefits to which they do have access. There are administrative problems in dealing with applications for benefit from self‐employed people, and there is considerable undercollection of the National Insurance contributions that are due. Self‐employed people in the United Kingdom are not well provided for through private pensions and insurance. The author draws on her recent research, and argues that a fundamental review of social security for self‐employed people in the United Kingdom is overdue.
