    En este trabajo se reflexiona acerca de las implicacio- nes de sustituir la supervivencia por la voluntariedad como criterio operativo en el diseño de las políticas de promoción del emprendimiento y el autoempleo.

    Este enfoque redefine la noción de éxito, normalmente asociada con la supervivencia, que no siempre es un resultado deseado ni deseable. Desde esta perspectiva, las políticas de promoción orientadas al empleo deben considerar nuevas dimensiones, incluyendo acciones que faciliten la salida al empleo asalariado de aquellos autoempleados que están atrapados en el autoempleo.

    In this paper, we reflect on the implications of replacing survival with voluntariness as the operational criterion in the design of entrepreneurship and self-employment promotion policies. This approach redefines the notion of success, which is typically associated with survival, a result that is not always desired or desirable. From this perspective, employment-oriented promotion policies must consider new dimensions, including actions that facilitate the transition to salaried employment for those self-employed individuals who are trapped in self- employment.
