It is not always the company. In the UK there is a shortage of driving instructors. Many of them self-employed and can charge for lessons whatever they like but for some reasons they don't - probably people already squeezed by cost of living cannot pay much more and instead ready to wait weeks for lessons which are readily available in countries without a shortage.
- baq 3y ago'They can but they can't' Sounds like a functioning market to me :)
- citrin_ru 3y agoMarket stop prices from going too high but doesn’t solve the problem of shortage. If part of the problem is that it is hard to get a certification required to be a driving instructor government can work on making it easier/faster (not going to happen unfortunately).
- varispeed 3y agoThis is caused by IR35 changes where self employed de facto can no longer offer services, as they are being forced into something called deemed employment, where they have no employment rights, but pay both employee and employer taxes without ability to make profit. Many people in the industry simply threw in the towel, because it became pointless to work.
