Many times you tend to try to freelance as a group rather precarious working conditions below the rest of the population. However, although, of course, there are many independent workers living in precarious situations, this can not be said generally affecting the segment. And not even so clear that affects far more than independent employees.
In fact, the data-at least those of the CASEN 2009 - indicate that self-employment is a form of higher earnings in exchange for insecurity
As we can see the models income workers Self-employment is somewhat lower than public employees, but clearly higher than private employees, and domestic service. The difference revenue agency employees (collectively) and independents more than 130,000 pesos.
This difference becomes even more interesting when we realize that independents tend to have lower educational levels of employees: 31% of those who have completed basic work as their own, but only 12% of those with education complete university (according to the same CASEN 2009). And we know the relationship between educational attainment and income in the country.
So what is the difference between independent and salaried income when we keep constant the level of education?
INCOME MAIN JOB (CASEN 2009)
The differences are quite substantial: In general, the same educational level, regardless of the worker without employer-obtained income that is at least 50% higher than employees get. A difference also is particularly important in higher levels of education. In fact, self-employed with incomplete basic education earns an income equivalent to the employee to complete secondary education.
But even the above argument loses sight of something: The fact that conceivably, the only way to get high income for people with low education, either through self-employment (ie, it is important to observe not only the mean but also measures of dispersion). But that would be a topic for another post.
