    </titleInfo>
    <abstract>This paper investigates the patterns of male
            non-agricultural self-employment and how they have changed
            over time in France, Germany and the UK. It is arguedthatthe
            development of self-employment in the three
            countries is based on specific institutional frameworks
            resulting in different opportunities for the
            self-employed.Thus, weexpect that the dynamics of growth,
            the sectors of             activity and the
            socio-demographic characteristics of the
            self-employed differ between the countries.
            Theempiricalanalyses are based on the national Labour Force
            Surveys of 1984 and 1994 (Germany 1982 and 1995). Our
            findings indicate that educational requirements
            differfundamentally betweenthe three countries and along
            industrial branches. Further, we could observe some
            country-specific developments in some sectors of activitybut
            also a remarkable number of commongeneral patterns in
            the development of self-employment.</abstract>
