Chapter Chapter 2 in Temporary Work Agencies in Italy, 2016, pp 9-30 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The following chapter aims to introduce the analysis of the research that has been carried out on temporary employment, agency work and the role of employment agencies in Italy and in the world. It should be emphasized that the scientific community is displaying increasing interest in the issue. From this perspective, the studies we present represent tangible evidence of the increasing role of this industry within the Italian and the international economic system. Firstly, the chapter provides an exhaustive definition of employment agencies, secondly it aims to present an overview of the main researches and studies carried out. These aim at analyzing causes and motives of the growth of the sector in the world and we divide them into those following a mainstream approach and those that criticize this dominant approach.
