Summary: Self-employment is an important indicator of entrepreneurial activity in a country. Self-employment refers to those persons that decide to establish their own enterprise instead of having a paid job. Entrepreneurs are change agents in a market economy. They help in the efficient use of resources, introducing new processes and supporting the adjustment of the economic fabric to changing conditions in the economic environment. This paper makes a descriptive analysis on self-employment in several European countries by age, level of education and sector of activity. These concepts are analyzed from a gender perspective which is relevant taking into account the significance that women represent in managerial initiatives.
