We have information on self-employment for women. We know that women are almost as likely as men to be self-employed; however, the type of self-employment they have is quite different. For example, women are less likely to have employees when they're self-employed. They're a kind of one-person show when they do it, and therefore their wages are slightly lower than those of men who are self-employed.
