CENSUS 2011: Number of self-employed caregivers

Self-employed and caregivers include all persons 15 years of age or older and who, as of December 31, 2010, are subject to IASTI. A self-employed person is a natural person who pursues an occupational activity by reason of which he is not engaged in the links of an employment contract or status. The assisting worker (including assisting spouses) is a natural person who assists or replaces a self-employed person in the exercise of his or her activity without being bound by an employment contract. The 2011 Census data are the most recent data we currently have at the sub-communal level. The population of the Census is not strictly defined in the same way as that used for other labour market indicators. This can impact the results even if the orders of magnitude remain the same. See also: Other indicators relating to self-employment are available under the theme ‘Economic activity’ and focus instead on industries. Some thematic indicators are also available by statistical sectors on the website of “[\2](\1)”
