Self-employed; income, capital, characteristics, industries, 2007-2015

This table contains data on the income and capital of self-employed persons. A distinction is made between, on the one hand, the persons for whom the main income is generated from self-employment and, on the other hand, all persons with income from self-employment. The number of types of income sources of self-employed persons is also reported. The groups are distinguished by type of self-employed, industry, gender, age, migration background, household position, number of persons with household income, and income and wealth groups. Net worth reference date is 1 January of the reporting year, for the years from 2011. For the older years 2007 to 2010 this is 1 January of the year following the research year. The General Business Register (ABR) is used to determine the SBI of self-employed persons. The ABR suffered several trend breaks in the period 2007-2011. This leads to a sharp decrease in the number of self-employed in financial services (K) in 2010. Therefore, caution should be taken when comparing the figures to SBI.
