This research contributes to the knowledge of individuals called hybrid entrepreneurs who combine primary paid employment with secondary self-employment activity. We work with a dataset of 30 countries participating in the 2017 European Union Labour Force Survey. We conduct a multivariate analysis of individual and family-related characteristics of hybrid entrepreneurs. Our results highlight that hybrid entrepreneurs are a specific subgroup of the population of self-employed individuals. While the hybrid entrepreneurs are also a relatively heterogeneous group themselves, we show that most of them do business in the agricultural sector and live in rural areas. Their business activities seem to be on average younger than those being run by primarily self-employed individuals. This likely reflects the temporary nature of many hybrid entrepreneurship endeavours. Interestingly hybrid entrepreneurs have, on average, higher levels of education, but this finding relates mainly to those being involved in non-agricultural activities. Women are less likely to pursue hybrid entrepreneurship, which is even less likely associated with having caring responsibilities for children. Future research should provide more longitudinal insights into the family-kids related aspects of hybrid entrepreneurship.

探索混合型企业家的个人和家庭相关特征

这项研究有助于了解被称为混合企业家的个人的知识，他们将主要有偿就业与次要自营职业活动相结合。我们使用参与 2017 年欧盟劳动力调查的 30 个国家的数据集。我们对混合型企业家的个人和家庭相关特征进行了多元分析。我们的研究结果强调，混合型企业家是个体经营者群体中的一个特定亚群。虽然混合型企业家本身也是一个相对异质的群体，但我们表明，他们中的大多数人在农业部门开展业务并生活在农村地区。他们的商业活动似乎比主要由个体经营者经营的活动平均年轻。这可能反映了许多混合创业努力的临时性质。有趣的是，混合型企业家的平均教育水平较高，但这一发现主要与那些从事非农业活动的人有关。女性不太可能追求混合创业，这与照顾孩子的责任更不可能相关。未来的研究应该对混合创业的家庭-孩子相关方面提供更多的纵向见解。
