Profile of the Entrepreneur
The entrepreneurs come from the zone Euro
A third of the Germans, Irish Belgians or in Spain is independent.
The number of workers whom its own business in Spain has surpasses the three million people and has grown in almost million in the last ten years, agreeing with the adoption of the Euro. They are indeed the residents coming from the monetary union most enterprising of the regime of the Spanish Social Security, even more than the Spaniards.
Thus, according to the last data of the Ministry of Work, 20% of the workers enrolled in the Social Security coming from the countries of the zone Euro have their own business against 17% of the Spaniards and to 18% of the UE-27.
Of this form, it is observed that prácticamenteuno of each three Germans, Belgians, Irish or Dutch that reside in Spain works like independent in their own business. But, paradoxicalally, the greater percentage of workers independently of all the EU does not belong to any country of the zone Euro but to the United Kingdom, since 40% of coming from this country that resides in Spain have their own company.
As anticipated, they are the extracommunity immigrants, who usually have less resources to settle in Spain, those that less percentage of independent registers: only 6% of them work independently.
Although in this last group there are exceptions. It is the case of Chinese, since a third of this group trains independent workers, in his great majority industralists of the commerce and the restoration.
In the opposite side, less enterprising of all the foreigners they are the Bolivians. Thus, of 50,640 workers enrolled in the Social Security coming from this country only 688 they are in the regime of independent (1.3%).
The data of the last Statistical Yearbook of Immigration of the Ministry of Work, 30% of the independent foreigners have their business in the commerce and the motor vehicle repair; followed of 20.5% in the hotel trade; 16% in the construction and 15% in real estate activities.
To these data it is necessary to add the good perspective of growth of the group of independent foreigners. In fact, according to it honored yesterday the Federation of Associations of Independent Workers (IT TIES), almost half of the new workers independently registered between January and July of this year they were foreign.
For the president of this association, Lorenzo Love, “is necessary to stand out that the independent foreigners grow to a rate eight times superior to the one of the Spaniards, since these were increased a 2.8% in which it goes of year, whereas first they increased a 23% from January”.
The incorporation of the Rumanian and Bulgarian citizens to the European Union in past January has had much to do in this fort advances independently of the number of foreign workers. Thus, the fact that the working employees of these two nationalities have still certain limitations to work in Spain, in front of their independent compatriots, who do not have the same conditioners, has caused that the independently Rumanian workers have happened of 4,101 in 2006 July to 25,424 in July of this year; and the Bulgarians, from 1,242 to 4.326.
This tendency of the foreigners to become independent will take passage in the next years to “a greater number of enterprise activities, complex and more and more heterogenous, as far as size and activity, since it has happened before in other societies like the one of the United States, the United Kingdom or Germany”, indicates to the book the business immigrant in Spain, published by the Foundation the Caixa.
