Editorial Reviews:

The social protection of the self-employed in the European Union was the central theme of a congress that was held in Louvain on the 19-20th November, 1993. The edited proceedings have been compiled in this volume, which contains articles on the growing importance of small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe, a comparative analysis of the degree of social protection of the self-employed in the EU states, and the importance of EU law for their position. The existence and growing importance of a group of self-employed in Europe is closely related to the increasing significance of small and medium-sized enterprises in the European Union, both with respect to their economic function and their number. These relatively small businesses produce a great number of self-employed who are in need of some form of social protection, according to the authors. Although some believe that the self-employed should not be entitled to, for instance, unemployment benefits because they know beforehand the risks of starting one's own enterprise, they are nevertheless entitled to some benefits in certain cases, depending on the situation and country in question. This text looks at the various forms of social protection existing in various European countries.
