In 2023, self-employed individuals in the accommodation and food services sector in France dedicated approximately 537 million hours. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline with values decreasing from 531.7 million hours in 2024 to 505.19 million hours by 2028. The sector is expected to undergo a year-on-year contraction, reflecting a slowing trend in the accumulation of self-employed work hours. Notably, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years highlights a modest decline in self-employed labor input within this sector.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of digital transformation and automation on self-employment opportunities, evolving consumer preferences affecting demand in hospitality, and potential regulatory changes influencing labor dynamics in the industry.
