The global self-employed population in the forestry sector shows varied trends by country. Significant declines are notable in the United States, Romania, and Canada, with declines around 4% to 5.75% in 2023. Conversely, New Zealand experienced a remarkable 17.08% increase, followed by positive growth in the UK and Ireland. Stable numbers are seen in Germany, France, Denmark, and the Netherlands.
