Atypical forms of employment contracts in times of crisis – Working time reforms in times of crisis

This working paper builds on previous research undertaken by the ETUI on the impact of the economic and financial crisis on labour law reforms in EU Member States. It maps the landscape and evolutions in the regulation of atypical employment contracts, analysing how some of these evolutions can be related to the context of the economic and financial crisis.

The paper uses a country-by-country analysis, pinpointing the main trends and tendencies regarding atypical employment and how the crisis has been used to push through reforms in this area.

 

This working paper extends and complements the analysis of pre-2012 anticrisis measures published in the earlier ETUI Working Paper ‘The crisis and’national labour law reforms: a mapping exercise’ which dealt with anti-crisis measures on working time taken before February 2012.

Using a country-by-country analysis of reforms in the area of working time, the authors of this paper confirm that most of the working time reforms adopted by EU Member States during the crisis leveraged the crisis as a – false – excuse to legitimate the introduction of legislation detrimental to workers.
