Nowadays many people choose to be self-employed, rather than to work for a company or organisation. Why might this be the case? What could be the disadvantages of being sellf-employed?

It is true that the popularity of

self-employment

has been increased. In my opinion, the desire for a high quality of life and more independence could be the main reasons for

this

trend.

However

, if the majority of a nation decide to be self-employed, governments and

people

will face some economic problems. Many

people

prefer to establish their own carrier

instead

of being an employee nowadays. The main reason for

this

could be that they want more salaries and freedom. There are

people

who prefer to

work

from home, especially if they have toddlers.

For example

, a company may not accept maternal leave after a period of time while a mother would need more time at home. Another reason would be having a new idea. Young

people

might have some ideas to make money that leads them to

work

independently rather than in a company.

However

, many numbers of

self-employment

would cause pecuniary troubles for a country.

Firstly

, big companies need employees to remain big while

self-employment

would result in many numbers of small businesses and there would be no skilful employees.

For instance

, if all graphic designers

work

for themselves, there would be no one to

work

in the department of advertisement in businesses

such

as Google or Amazon.

Secondly

,

people

cannot count on their wages as Freelancers. There may be times that they earn $10,000 a month,

for example

, and

also

times without any money. In conclusion, it seems to me that the increasing trend of

self-employment

has several reasons but the drawbacks of that are serious.
