Summary/Abstract: Transition period through which economies of many countries go, greatly reflected on the loss of job safety, which was considered as the greatest achievement of socialist and non-market economies. Instead, market movements on the labor market during nineties, influenced many people to lose their jobs not only as technological surplus, but above all as economical surplus. At the same time, the job opportunities decreased, which was primarily reflected on women’s work force. Therefore, self-employment has become the main source of new employment and at the same time it contributes to unemployment rate reduction in many countries
