Why has the number of self-employed people started to fall?
Overall, the number of people in the UK counted as self-employed has grown strongly in the past two decades, rising from 3.2 million in 2000 to more than five million at the end of 2019.
"Right now, the level of self-employment is likely to be close to 4.5 million, I would think. Within that you have people who aren't trading at all but still say they're self-employed, even though they don't have any income, or have heavily reduced hours." "I can only imagine some of those people felt they had to close their self-employed business," he says.
