註釋This study aims to identify potential policy options to promote equality and economic opportunities for self-employed women, particularly during periods when their businesses are interrupted by ill health or family caregiving. The report describes the research methodology used in the study and presents the results of a literature review. It then addresses the following points: characteristics of self-employed women; interruptions in business earnings; role of government in granting access to special benefits; Quebec's plan to extend parental and maternity benefits to self-employed individuals; a self-funded tax savings plan; private insurance; access to financing. It then presents recommendations that aim to increase accessibility to various forms of income protection for self-employed women.
