Discontinuing self-employed; at outflow, SBI 2008, characteristics 2008-2016

This table contains annual figures on the number of self-employed workers in the Netherlands. This concerns all persons aged 15 years or older who have ceased to be self-employed in one year. Stopping means that no income as self-employed was observed in the reporting year, although this was the case the year before. The data can be broken down by gender, type of self-employed (at the time of cessation), socio-economic position in the event of outflow, or what becomes one if one stops as self-employed, the sector (SBI 2008) in which one worked as a self-employed person and the personal characteristics of age, migration background and position in the household. Data available from: 2008-2016. Status of the figures: The figures in this table are final. Changes as of 3 July 2020: None, this table has been discontinued. Changes as of 20 September 2019: The figures for 2016 have been added to this table. In the source file for this table, the derivative of the attribute “working position” has been adjusted. This characteristic is used to determine the type of self-employment that was a person when one stopped and also for the socio-economic position once one has stopped. The change means that the employment position of persons in a household with no perceived income has been converted to ‘belongs to household without perceived income’. In the previous version of the source file, these persons could also have a different employment position, for example as a self-employed person. This adjustment leads to minor changes in the figures on quitting self-employed persons in this table. In addition, the underlying codes for the reference period have been changed. The structure of the table has not changed. When are new figures coming? The table has been discontinued and is continued in a new table. For more information see paragraph 3.
