The Granta Book of the Family by Bill Buford
The Missing Entrepreneurs 2017 is the fourth edition in a series of reports that provide data and policy analysis on inclusive entrepreneurship involving business start-up and self-employment activities contributing to social inclusion as well as to economic growth. The report contains data on the scale and scope of entrepreneurship and self-employment activities across the European Union and OECD countries by youth, women, seniors, immigrants and the unemployed, as well as the barriers faced by these social groups. The report also contains special thematic chapters on the quality of self-employment, including new forms of self-employment such as dependent and false self-employment, and on self-employment as an adjustment mechanism in major firm restructuring. Each thematic chapter discusses current policy issues and challenges, and makes recommendations for policy makers. Finally, country notes highlight recent trends in entrepreneurship by the social target groups, key policy challenges and recent policy actions in each of the 28 EU Members.
