·	From Theory To Practice

The methodology used to prepare this report consists of three elements. First, the researchers carried out a review of the data and literature on own-account self-employment. This included data from a range of Statistics Canada surveys and public opinion polling. It also included an analysis of previously published research on self-employment. This information was supplemented by a series of interviews with people actively involved with self-employment issues, either as program officials or researchers. These interviews provided an opportunity to test patterns or hypotheses suggested by the quantitative data, as well as to identify the most appropriate future policy and program suggestions. Finally, eight focus groups were convened to consider issues for the study on the basis of experiences and feelings of the self-employed.
