Description

Explore the global impact of temporary employment with this comprehensive Routledge analysis of how short-term hiring has transformed modern economies and worker protections. As temporary work has expanded dramatically over recent decades, this book examines both the cost advantages driving firms to hire workers on temporary contracts and the critical consequences for those workers who face reduced rights compared to permanent colleagues. Discover how temporary employment reshapes economic structures, labour market dynamics, and worker security across different regions and industries. This rigorous study bridges the gap between employer benefits and worker vulnerabilities, offering essential insights into one of the most significant shifts in modern labour markets. Essential reading for economists, labour policy specialists, and anyone seeking to understand the forces reshaping work in the contemporary global economy.
