Capacity building in self-employment

Self-employment comprises all activities carried out by economic agents outside the two basic social sectors of the socialist economy, i.e. the state and the cooperative sector. Self-employed persons are those who, whether or not they own the means and objects of work, are not subject to an employment contract with a legal person, do not receive a wage, process their production or provide their services individually or collectively, using, where appropriate, family help, and are directly responsible for marketing, or through another person or entity that legally represents them for this purpose.
