. This paper deals with the transitions and alternation between self-employment, paid-employment and non-employment in Finland in 1987–1999, paying special attention to differences in self-employment dynamics between areas characterized by different labour market conditions, viz. rural and urban locations. Markovian analysis reveals significant differences by the type of area in the processes of transition between the three labour market states. Alternation between self-employment and other labour markets states turns out to be greater in rural than urban areas. Five major types of alternating working careers are identified. The type of area is importantly related to alternating working careers even when all the important variables describing personal and family characteristics are included in the models. Abstract. Este articulo trata con las transiciones y alternancia entre el trabajo por cuenta propia, trabajo por cuenta ajena y desempleo en Finlandia de 1987–1999, poniendo especial atencion a las diferencias en dinamicas de trabajo autonomo entre areas caracterizadas por condiciones del mercado laboral diferentes, a saber, ubicaciones rurales y urbanas. Un analisis Markoviano revela diferencias significativas por tipo de area en los procesos de transicion entre los tres estados de mercado laboral. La alternancia entre el trabajo por cuenta propia y otros mercados laborales resulta ser mayor en areas rurales que en urbanas. Se identifican cinco tipos principales de alternancia en el historial laboral. El tipo de area esta relacionada de manera importante con historiales laborales alternantes incluso cuando todas las variables importantes que describen caracteristicas personales y familiares estan incluidas en los modelos.
