Preferred term

temporary work  

Definition

  • Temporary work has become a prominent feature of economies worldwide, engulfing the majority of the working population in some developing countries such as China and India, as well as accounting for nearly one-third of the labor force in Korea and Spain, and almost one-quarter in North America, Europe, and Japan. The resulting contours of employment relations signify new risk profiles among a growing number of workers around the world. [Source: Sociology of Work: An Encyclopedia; Temporary Work]
