Workforce and Employment

  • Here are 5 things to look forward to in the future – according to 1,000 experts

  • Here’s how temporary work contracts could impact your livelihood

Despite the growing interest in the consequences of temporary contracts, little is known about the effects of being a temporary contract holder on young workers’ subsequent labour market and family outcomes.
