According to analysis of 2003 CPS data "self-employment is more common among men than women" (p. 16) in all age groups. Among "unincorporated* self-employed" workers aged 65 and older, 22.8% are males and 14.3% are females. Similarly, 14.1% of men and 9% of women ages 55-64 are unincorporated self-employed. In younger age groups, the rates are 10.5% of men and 6.8% of women ages 45-54, 8.7% of men and 6.7% of women ages 35-44, 5.9% of men and 4.6% of women ages 25-34, and about 2% of men and 1% of women ages 16-24. (Table 4, p. 18)
*Workers are "unincorporated self-employed" if they do not work in their own incorporated business. Incorporated self-employed workers are counted as salaried employees of their own businesses.
