Abstract: Abstract Employment instability has recently been observed in many developed capitalist countries. This condition is directly related to poverty, and may produce political conflict. If the number of people who lack a reliable economic foundation for life increases, and if gaps between strata of society continue to widen, then social cohesion will lose a base of stability. Such scenarios are detrimental to creating a future competitive economy and knowledge-based society. Describing actual conditions and the main factors influencing employment instability is thus an urgent issue within the social sciences.
