LABOUR ISSUES THROUGH TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES

Abstract

While trying to cope with the current economic crisis and to stop the increase of unemployment, the EU strategies in the field of employment focused on the less conventional forms, such as temporary employment. Temporary employment is a form of employment with two major features: temporary agency work and jobs with fixed-term contracts. At EU level, the use of temporary employment is one of the most effective means of flexible labor market creating new jobs and thus reduce unemployment, despite the great differences that exist in addressing this form of employment in the member states due to country-specific policies and customs. Currently in Romania there is a slight preference for this form of employment, even if its dimensions are still very far from those seen in the developed countries of the European Union.
