Effects of self-employment on types of poverty in Mexico
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of this research is to measure the effects of self-employment in poverty conditions in Mexico’s federal entities from 2008 to 2020. Following the assumption, that self-employment is, among other things, a mechanism used by people with difficulties supporting themselves with market wages. A panel data model as a function of self-employment is developed for three types of poverty: Simple, moderate and extreme. Findings show a differentiated impact according to the different poverty levels, where simple level has the greatest effect, followed by moderate level and finally extreme level. Self-employment income shows statistical significance in most estimates, except in the estimate of extreme poverty during the period with economic instability.
