Examining the occupational variation within non-standard
employment, this book combines case studies and comparative writing
to illustrate how and why alternative occupational employment
patterns are formed. Non-standard employment has grown
significantly in most developed economies, varying between
countries. Different institutional settings have been deemed
accountable for this variation, although inadequate consideration
has been given to differences within national labour markets.
Through an occupational perspective, this book contends that
patterns of non-standard employment are shaped by flexibility in
hiring and firing practices and the dispensability of workers'
skills. The framework integrates explanations based on labour
market regulation, industrial relations and skill supply, filling
the gaps in previous scholastic research. A necessary and
discernible insight into employment patterns, academics in the
fields of economics and sociology will find this book of great
value. Policy makers and practitioners alike will benefit from the
comparative analysis of rich empirical material. Contributors: F.
