Abstract Details

2007, Bachelor of Science, Miami University, College of Arts and Sciences - Economics.
During the decade between 1980 and 1990, the level of self-employment among employed women grew dramatically from 4.8% to 7.1%. In the following decade, the level grew to 7.8%, still an increase but of a much smaller magnitude. This study investigates the reasons why women entered into self-employment both in the 1980s and in the 1990s. It also examines why the magnitudes of the increases in each decade were so different. The analysis reveals that demographics, education, and job distribution are the most influential factors for the self-employment increase in both decades and that changes in the United States’ racial and ethnic composition account for part of the smaller increase in the 1990s.
