Ethnicity and Self‐Employment in Britain
研究英国劳动力市场中族群对自雇就业的影响，分析非白人族群因歧视（推力）和创业机会（拉力）而选择自雇而非受雇的现象，使用英国家庭调查和1991年人口普查数据验证。
This paper investigates the ethnic dimension of self‐employment in the British labour market. It examines how both ‘push’ and ‘pull’ factors may lead members of non‐white, ethnic minority groups to enter self‐employment rather than paid‐employment. Push factors include discrimination in paid‐employment while pull factors refer to minority‐specific entrepreneurial opportunities. Data from the General Household Survey and 1991 Census are employed to evaluate the empirical relevance of these issues and to explore differences between ethnic groups. Evidence of both push and pull factors is found.
