註釋
Important questions exist about differences & similarities in the training patterns of the self-employed. At one level are basic questions about participation in work-related training. At another level are questions about the types of training undertaken by the self-employed. This paper examines these questions by drawing on the Survey of Self-Employment conducted in April 2000. The Survey provides current & much-needed data on the self-employed population in Canada. The introduction reviews existing research on training & skill development in Canada & other countries to provide general context for the analysis that follows. The paper then uses cross-tabulations to examine four key issues: general training patterns, participation in formal training, type & duration of informal training, and the perceived usefulness & advantages of formal & informal training.
