Self-employed; income, wealth, industry, 2007-2015

This table contains data on the income and wealth of self-employed persons per detailed industry. These are people for whom self-employment is the main source of income. A distinction is made by type of self-employed person and economic activity. 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. Data available from 2007 to 2015 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are provisional. Changes as of 20 February 2018: This table has been discontinued. Changes as of 8 February 2017: The topics People with Business Capabilities and Median Business Capability have been added. In addition to average incomes, median incomes are now also available. Data for the years 2007 to 2010 and 2015 have been added. From the year 2011, an overall revision of income statistics has been carried out. Due to various changes in the methodology, this leads across the board to a trend break with previous years. When are new figures coming? No longer applicable.
