Latest research highlights II: OECD EPL
For the first time the OECD has looked at TAW as a category on its own in its Employment Outlook; specific employment protection legislation (EPL) indicators were developed for TAW
The index shows that the use of TAW is more strictly regulated then that of fixed-term contracts:
• on average the index is 2.51 for temporary agency work, while it only scores 1.65 for fixed-term contracts.
• Countries with the highest level of legislation rigidity on temporary agency work include Turkey (5.8), South Korea (4.4), Belgium (3.9), Poland and Luxembourg (3.8)
The regulatory rigidity for temporary agency work has led to the growth of fixed-term contracts, which contribute to labour market dualism
