Part A presents data and information collected on the role and dynamics of temporary agency work, regulatory frameworks as well as industrial relations and employment conditions contexts of type of work in the whole of the European Union, mainly based on available comparative statistics as well as comparative studies that have been carried out by other researchers. Part B of the report consists of a series of case studies on major forms of labour market transitions and shows the role of temporary agency work and social dialogue for supporting labour market transitions and working conditions of temporary agency workers.
