Abstract: The flexibilization of gainful employment has led to an increase in atypical employment in most European countries. Due to the accompanying loss of recognition, low pay and poor integration into the social security system, health problems are almost inevitable. This article is based on the assumption that the correlation between atypical employment forms and health varies from country to country and is influenced by institutional characteristics such as the relationship between social security and flexibility on the labour market. Empirical analyses are carried out using data from the European Working Conditions Survey 2010 and macro indicators from Eurostat. The results show that there is a correlation in most countries, especially in regard to poor health and temporary agency work. In general, there are only small institutional country effects which moderate the link between employment and health.
