Title Exploring Self-Employment in Central Asia: Influence Factors
Summary After the collapse of the Soviet Union, abrupt structural changes and severe socio-economic transformations took place in Central Asia, followed by a rapid increase in the number of self-employed, and accompanied by a growth in informal sectors. By examining the trends and challenges that emerged from the new reality, the given paper attempts to understand the possible explanation behind people’s choice of self-employment through the prism of the experience of transition and developing economies, and the overall state of Central Asian labour market. Entry into self-employment seems to be due a number of factors related to the post-Communist past and certain specifities of the labour market of the region.
