Bogus Self-Employment: Discussion
12:30 pm
Mr. Martin McMahon:
It probably does vary from region to region. I look at it from country to country. I have looked at it in various countries. If one takes Germany, for example, it has a rate of self-employment which is half our rate while Greece has a higher rate than ours. Self-employment rates in a country are not an indicator of an entrepreneurial country, having a higher rate is an indicator that there is something wrong in the system. Nobody is going to tell us that Greece is the best in the world.
