Temporary Employment in Canada: Profiles, Patterns and Policy Considerations

(by Grant Schellenberg and Christopher Clark, 1996, 47 pp., #507, $15.00)

A well-received report that explores the growing phenomenon of temporary employment within the context of today's social, economic and political realities. The authors also examine temporary employment within the broader framework of globalization, labour market flexibility, and the changes in the nature of part-time work and self-employment. Attention is also given to the policy implications of temporary employment such as changes to the Canadian labour code and employment insurance, employer-sponsored benefits, and training and development.
