Chapter 7 in New Challenges for European Human Resource Management, 2000, pp 124-137 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the past decade, especially in Northern countries of the European Union, some major changes have occurred regarding labour matters. The conventional and legal framework regulating employment has become more flexible as new patterns of employment have gained popularity. Part-time work, one of the oldest and most common forms of flexibility, has shifted from involving unqualified women to qualified men and women, while a number of other flexible working patterns involving contract, place and pay flexibility have emerged.
