600,000 new micro-enterprises in 11 months

INSEE has identified 600,000 new micro-enterprises in 11 months.

This is more than half of all company creations.

The micro-enterprise particularly appeals to young people, who are sometimes tired of the constraints of wage labor.

But the increase in these small structures does not necessarily have an impact on overall economic activity.

Notably because they are more fragile than traditional companies.

“For example, of the micro-enterprises created in 2014, two-thirds had actually started an economic activity. Of these two-thirds, half were active three years later. years later, 60% were still active", specifies Julien Pouget, head of the business cycle department at INSEE.

And the most dynamic sectors in this area are household services, consulting activities and information and communication activities.
