Tensiones entre el emprendimiento y el trabajo autónomo en las políticas europeas de empleo: un nuevo capítulo en la relación entre el “trabajo como empleo” y el “trabajo sobre sí

This article deals with entrepreneurship policies fostered by European institutions and adopted in Spain in recent years. In particular, it reflects on the link between “entrepreneurship” and “self-employment” that characterizes the design of these measures. Based on an analysis of documentary sources, the article highlights that the link between entrepreneurship and self-employment leads to two simultaneous processes: on the one hand, a contradiction between its objectives -job creation, economic growth and innovation- and the instruments proposed to reach them. On the other hand, the promotion of a cultural model that is constructed in opposition to the idea of “wage employment” and that shifts social risks towards the individual leading to the delegitimization of solidarity models of social and employment policies.
