  **relations**has emerged. However, in 2019 the conventional employment contract (part- or full-time) still 
  accounts for around 86% of the workforce (EU27), they are employees. Seventeen per cent of these 
  employed persons have a part-time contract, 13% of the employees have a temporary contract, or both 
  combined. Nine per cent are self-employed without employees. The remaining 4% are self-employed 
  with employees (employers) and 1% are contributing family workers. The number of self-employed in 
  agriculture halved between 2005 and 2019, which is the biggest factor in the reduction of contributing 
  family workers and the stagnation of the number of self-employed.
