Abstract: The persistent employment crisis that dogged all of the countries of the European Community, with the exception of Luxembourg, throughout the 1980s has led to the spread of all sorts of jobs which cannot be compared with full-time, life-time work: part-time employment; temporary employment; jobs created by the public authorities; and work experience schemes for young people, as well as jobs with varied or unusual schedules. The present study follows the evolution of the principal forms of atypical employment during three periods (1983–1985, 1985–1990 and 1990–1994), revealing the constants and the variations, as well as the national divergences in the development of the methods of flexibility and of organisation of working time. The first part looks at divergences and convergences, whilst a second highlights the localisation of the types of atypical employment in certain segments of the labour market
