Self-employed women

by capnx » Sat Aug 15, 2009 12:45 pm
Between 1979 and 1983, the number of unincorporated business self-employed women increased five times faster than the number of self-employed men and more than three times faster than the number of women wage-and-salary workers. Part-time self-employement among women increased more than full-time self-employment.

Each of the following, if true, could help to account for this trend except

a) Owning a business affords flexibility to combine work and family responsibilities

b) The proportion of women studying business administration courses has grown considerably

c) There are more self-employed women than men

d) Unincorporated service industries have grown by 300 percent over the period; the ratio of women to men in this industry is three to one.

e) The financial reward of having a second wage earner in the household has taken on increased significance.
