Summary

Abstract:
The flexibility afforded by self-employment is often regarded as a way to
better balance work and home activities. Relatively little is known, however,
about the differences in time allocations between self-employed women and
women employed in organizations. Recent research suggests that the reasons
women enter self-employment may differ from those of their male
counterparts. Specifically, women appear more often to base their decisions
on lifestyle and family factors, while men make choices based on earnings
potential. This paper finds that observed time-use patterns of self-employed
women are consistent with women placing more emphasis on family factors.
