Description - Self-Employment in 21st Century Britain: Multidisciplinary Perspectives by Kevin Caraher
The struggle, uncertainty and financial precarity faced by millions during the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted a crucial question: do self-employed people have adequate access to social protection? Since the onset of the 2008 global financial crisis, self-employment has become an increasingly popular form of work in the UK. This topical, comprehensive and rigorous book explores this trend and analyses the potential benefits and risks of self-employment for both individuals and wider society. Examining working conditions and access to social protection, the authors analyse how self-employed people are currently safeguarded by the welfare state and to what extent existing social policies, such as Universal Credit, help to avoid and alleviate vulnerabilities.
