Live Surveys
IPSE regularly runs surveys to track trends in freelancing and inform policy. The data obtained from these surveys supports our work with government and industry.
It’s more important than ever that the vital contribution you make as a freelancer is recognised. By taking part in our surveys you will be providing important insight to ensure that you are accurately represented, helping us to continue to champion improvements to the self-employment landscape. Any surveys that are currently in progress will be shown below.
