Women Filling Freelance Jobs Across the EU

According to new research from IPSE, a body that represents self-employed people, women are taking over the freelance jobs across the EU. Today, there are 9.6 million independent professionals who work in the EU. This is 1.9 million more than in 2008 and out of this, freelancers account for almost 30% of all self-employed people. They make up a total of 4% of the EU workforce.

As Kelly Gilmour-Grassam, the founder of the copywriting business Making Your Content and IPSE Freelancer of the Year for 2015 said, “As home working becomes increasingly viable and the digital world makes starting a business ever easier, it’s no wonder more women are choosing to become freelancers.”
