Abstract: Important transformations are taking place in the nature, characteristics and organisation of work. Part-time employment, temporary recruitment, self-employment, increasing participation of women and shifts in required skills are some dominant characteristics of changes observed in the advanced European countries. The aim of the article is to verify the hypothesis that the process of employment tertiarisation explains, to a significant extent, the shift to a more flexible labour market and the emergence of a new work model in Spain. The departing point and following sections seek to determine, first, the links between tertiarisation and changes in labour demand; second, sectoral differences in labour characteristics; and third, whether labour market dynamism and flexibility observed in Spain is related to tertiarisation. The main findings at the national level are also tested at the regional level to show some exciting differences.
