Nearly 40% of British self-employees are homeworkers. Using a large
representative sample of the UK longitudinal survey data, we explore the
determinants of self-employed homeworking, distinguishing between genders. We
reject the notion that homeworking is a transitional entrepreneurial state that
the self-employed "grow out of", while establishing that both employer status and
business structure play an important role in predicting which self-employed
become homeworkers. Our findings also shed light on two outstanding puzzles in
entrepreneurship scholarship: why so few of the self-employed create jobs for
others, and why on average the self-employed suffer an earnings penalty compared
with employees.
