It seems easyto say that you are employed if you work for somebody else and you are self
employ'Cd if you work for yourseltl
But life isn't quite so simple. Being self-employed
is not
restricted
to people who run their O\vn business,
in the physical
sense of O\vning property
and stock and perhaps
employing their own staff. A great number of people work from home
in a \\'id,-~ range of occupations
and many of them arc classed as self-employed.
Examples
arc the hairdresser
"..rho has set up a shop in one room of the house, the freelance bookkeeper \\.ho docs the accounts
for other small businesses,
the woman who holds clothing or
TLlppen\"~in' p~1rti('s, and the anist who takes on freelance
work from various publishing

comp,-In\l's.
People \\'h(1 work on a freelance
basis 'hire out' their skills to anyone who will pay them. A

A typical British family used to consist of mother,
father and two children,
but in recent
years there havc been many changes
in family life. Some of these changes
have been caused
by new laws and others are the result ofchanges
in society. In fact one ma.rriage in every
three now ends in divorce. This means that there arc a lot of onc-parent
families. Suciety is
now more toJerant than it used to be of unmarried
couples 8nd single parents.
Another ch8nge has been caused by the f8ct people arc Jiving longer nowadays,
and many
old people Jive alone foIl owing the death of their partners.
As a result of these changes in the
pattern of peop)c's lives, there are many households
which consist of onl.v one person or one

Bdu]t and children.
Members of a family - grandparents,
aunts,
uncles, cousins
touch, but they see less of each other than they used to. This is because
people oftenkecp
movein
away from their home tcm,'n to work, and so the famiJy becomes Scattered.

_

In generaJ, each generation
is keen to become independent
of parents
own family unit, and this fact can lead to social as \ e]J as geographical
the larger family group.
