Self-employed (with no employees)
Self-employed (with no employees)
• The hypothesis is that when the going gets tough, workers are forced
to “hang out their own shingle” and thus become self-employed in an
attempt to create a livelihood.
Bahar, Sumaya and Huju Liu. (2015) Unincorporated Self-employment in Canada, 1989 to 2010
(Ottawa: Statistics Canada, Catalogue no. 11-622, No. 03) (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/11-622-m/11-622-
m2015031-eng.pdf).
High rate of entry into unincorporated self-employment from 1993 to 1997 (Chart 4) due to a high rate of
unemployment from 1991 to 1996 (Table 1).
LaRochelle-Côté, Sébastien. (2010) Self-employment in the downturn.” Perspectives on Labour and
Income (Ottawa: Statistics Canada, Catalogue no. 75-001, March). (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/75-001-
x/2010103/pdf/11138-eng.pdf).
From October, 2008 to October, 2009, the number of paid employees declined by 361 thousand and the
number of self-employed workers increased by 115 thousand. The increase in self-employed incorporated

thousand. The increase in the number “part-time for economic reasons and wanted full-time” was 23
thousand. Large increases were noted in the industry sectors of finance and real estate, “wholesale trade,
