- 1自僱、自營（臺灣也說「自己當老闆」；統計上常稱「自營作業」）
Self-employment is the state of working for yourself instead of being on a company’s staff. It is the noun that matches self-employed. You meet it in news, tax talk, and career advice: “self-employment is growing,” “the risks of self-employment.” It names the arrangement, not one person’s character. It can sound a little dry and official next to “working for myself.” Though actually, people bundle many different lives under this one word — a doctor with a private clinic, a student selling crafts online, a builder with no firm behind them — so the word tells you about the contract, not about how comfortable the life is.
From the word’s history
