EventsResourcesVideosWebinarEvent Date: Oct 20th, 2021  Time: 12:30  Location: Online

Join us for an overview of our research into the financial well-being of people in precarious and low-income self-employment

What is it about

Self-employment accounts for a significant proportion of employment in Wales today, yet many self-employed people at the lower end of the income spectrum and from across different sectors struggle with insecurity of pay, hours and have little safety net for their financial well-being and future.

Join us to for our free 30-minute briefing to hear the findings of our latest research to see the difficulties faced by thousands of self-employed people today trying to earn a living.

Why you should take part

This 30 minute online event will bring together our findings from research on self-employment in Wales and the numerous challenges that self-employed people face to their financial well-being as a result of their self-employment. As well as a short presentation of the key findings, you’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and comment on the research.

Book your place to understand:

  • Who the self-employed in Wales today are
  • The drivers of self-employment across different sectors
  • The short term and long term challenges facing their financial well-being
