Abstract
SELF-EMPLOYMENT AS A WORK STRATEGY – POLISH FEMALE MIGRANTS IN THE BRITISH LABOUR MARKET Self-employment is a common practice in the European Union. In 2014, this form of employment was chosen by about 16.4% of workers (EUROSTAT 2014). An increasing proportion of self-employed persons are women and immigrants, for whom self-employment offers a relatively easy way to enter the labour market. The article focuses on the entrepreneurial behaviour of Polish women in the United Kingdom. It investigates their reasons for setting up their own ventures, their entrepreneurial profiles and strategies, and work-life balance. It also looks at main threats and possibilities associated with running a business and different types of support they obtain in their entrepreneurial activities. By drawing from a variety of sources: current literature, existing employment and migration data, and the author’s own research, the study creates an opportunity to bridge the gap between the sociology of work, gender studies and migration research.
