Implemented in 2015, by virtue of law No. 114-13, the self-employed status is a recognised legal status granted for any sole trader with a commercial, industrial, craft or service activity, and allows them to benefit from fiscal and social benefits favourable to the development of business, through the following measures:
Addressing a potential population estimated at about 4.2 million people, this status aims to specifically target 1.9 million active people in the informal sector including 1.4 million self-employed workers in addition to one million unemployed people. The status is also aimed at the 1.2 million students of which two thirds are respectively enrolled in higher education and vocational training, not to mention the apprentice category, which includes over 50,000 individuals.
As of 26th October 2017, over 65,000 requests for registration in the national register of the self-employed were filed, 54,000 of which resulted in an official registration.
43% of the self-employed work in the commercial sector, 34% in the service sector, 17% in industry and 6% in craftwork. 34% of registered self-employed are women and nearly half of them work from home.
