<p /> <p><strong>Table 1: </strong>estimated median weekly income (£) from self-employment
of women from 2002/03 to 2012/13. These figures cover a period that includes the deepest
recession since the 1930s and the initial recovery from a large fall in national income.
In the period since 2012/13 the economic recovery has picked up speed, with GDP in
2014 up by 2.6% on the previous year, while the number of people in work increased
by more than half a million in the year to November 2014.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>
