项目摘要

The self-employed are a particularly vulnerable group in the current coronavirus crisis. In contrast to elsewhere, the UK has seen significant growth in self-employment, reaching 15% of the workforce before the coronavirus outbreak. The self-employed are predominant in those sectors most hit by shutdown and social distancing measures. This disproportionate impact on self-employment is likely to have a longer-term effect on entrepreneurial activity and regional economic performance in the UK if current policies are not able to support groups and areas that are particularly hit. Self-employment has specific social and spatial features which means that the crisis will impact on specific social groups and areas in the UK differently. Women and some ethnic groups cluster in the most affected sectors, and some regions, particularly in the North and Scotland, have large shares of self-employment in accommodation and food services. Although generous to those eligible, government support (SEISS) excludes some significant groups.This programme of research will investigate the social and spatial consequences of the coronavirus crisis on the self-employed in the UK. The project comprises two elements. First will be extensive secondary analysis of nationally representative UK survey data. This will allow detailed analysis of self-employment before, during and after the lockdown, including exits from self-employment and the ability of the self-employed to maintain earnings levels. A particular focus will be on gender as early analysis of the impact of this crisis suggested that women are particularly affected. The secondary data analysis we will be augmented with narratives from the self-employed. For this purpose we will interview self-employed women and men in different regions in the UK.The second element is designed to generate expert evidence for the UK as a whole through engagement with nationally representative bodies such as the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and the Association of Independent Professional and Self-Employed (IPSE). The purpose of both elements is to support recovery strategy proposals, tailored to the particular context of key UK Industrial Strategy stakeholders - City Regions, Local Enterprise Partnerships and Devolved Administrations.

在当前的冠状病毒危机中，个体户是一个特别脆弱的群体。与其他地方不同的是，英国的自营职业人数出现了显著增长，在冠状病毒爆发之前，自雇人数达到了劳动力的15%。在那些受政府停摆和社会疏远措施打击最严重的行业，个体户占主导地位。如果当前的政策无法支持受冲击尤其严重的群体和地区，这种对自营职业的不成比例的影响可能会对英国的创业活动和地区经济表现产生更长期的影响。自营职业具有特定的社会和空间特征，这意味着这场危机将对英国特定的社会群体和地区产生不同的影响。妇女和一些族裔群体聚集在受影响最严重的部门，一些地区，特别是北部和苏格兰，在住宿和食品服务方面有很大份额的自营职业。虽然政府支持(SEISS)对那些符合条件的人很慷慨，但它排除了一些重要的群体。这项研究计划将调查冠状病毒危机对英国个体户的社会和空间后果。该项目包括两个要素。首先是对具有全国代表性的英国调查数据进行广泛的二次分析。这将允许对封锁之前、期间和之后的自营职业进行详细分析，包括退出自营职业的情况以及自营职业者维持收入水平的能力。将特别关注性别问题，因为对这场危机影响的早期分析表明，妇女受到的影响特别大。在二次数据分析中，我们将用个体户的叙述来补充。为此，我们将采访英国不同地区的个体户女性和男性。第二个要素旨在通过与小企业联合会(FSB)和独立专业人士和自雇人士协会(IPSE)等全国代表性机构的接触，为整个英国产生专家证据。这两个要素的目的都是为了支持复苏战略建议，这些建议是根据英国主要工业战略利益攸关方--城市地区、地方企业伙伴关系和权力下放--的特定背景而量身定做的。
