Committee on European Union Affairs
Eurofound: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Ivailo Kalfin:
There is a difference. Quality of life and quality of work are much harder for the self-employed. This is a freedom that we have. We have people who do not want to be part of a big organisation. They have to have the flexibility and freedom to organise themselves but they have more challenges – more stress, more intensity, more responsibilities, much less time for holidays or weekend redress, etc. It is very clear that exists. It is positive also to have social welfare. This is a free choice, but they have more stress.
