From unemployment benefits to entrepreneurship
From unemployment benefits to entrepreneurship
Yearly 40.000 to 50.000 benefit recipients started their own company or became freelancer in the period 2011-2016, while or shortly after receiving unemployment benefits. Entrepreneurship is seen as an alternative way out of a benefit situation: each week hundreds of benefit recipients tell UWV they are considering to become an entrepreneur. The government supports them through a number of schemes. This study shows how many benefit recipients become an entrepreneur, whether they make use of supporting schemes, how much they earn and whether or not they stay active as an entrepreneur in the following years.
