I have heard of one fairly shocking example of a University based unit that regularly took on new graduates and then treated all of its staff below manager as self employed. Of course, those fresh out of Uni didn't have any idea what this meant, until the taxman came knocking!
This was a few years ago and something of a second-hand story, but I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that it still went on.
On the other hand, I have come across several people who chose to be self employed and they have the freedom to move around wherever they want as long as there is demand, and they don't might filling out forms. Being effectively forced to be self employed is a completely different matter though.
