个体户“个体户”称谓是改革开放初期的特殊产物。当时私营经济尚未萌芽,用“个体户”特指白手起家的创业者。所以用这一称谓,主要是为了区别于“私营企业主”。雇工低于8人是个体户,反之即是私营企业。 Self-employed “self-employed ” title is a special product of the early reform and opening up. At that time, the private economy was not yet budding, with “self-employed” especially referring to self-made entrepreneurs. Therefore, this title is mainly used to distinguish it from “private entrepreneurs.” Less than 8 employees are self-employed, and vice versa is the private sector.
