The Labour Force Survey (LFS) is a household survey which provides quarterly statistics on employment and unemployment and is the official source of labour market estimates in the State. The primary classification used for the LFS results is the ILO (International Labour Organisation) labour force classification.
The most recent figures available from the LFS for Ireland and from EUROSTAT for the EU28 are for the second quarter (Q2) of 2019. Global estimates are compiled by the ILO on an annual basis only. Thus, for comparability purposes, data provided in the following tables for Ireland and the EU28 refer to the year 2018.
Table 1 shows the number of self-employed persons aged 15 years and over, classified by gender in Ireland and the corresponding EU28 and Global estimates for 2018.
Table 2 shows self-employed persons as a percentage of total employed persons aged 15 years and over, classified by gender in Ireland and the corresponding EU28 and Global estimates for 2018.
