Analysis of trends in prevalence of key types of non-standard work - 250302/7464

European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions

Eurofound is launching this CFT with the objective of securing a research contract to support its ongoing work on new and non-standard forms of employment in the EU. The aim is to develop an updated, data-driven typology of compound non-standard employment—a concept reflecting multiple, overlapping forms of job insecurity—and to analyse its prevalence, evolution, and socio-economic consequences across Member States since 2010. Using microdata from EU-wide surveys (EU-LFS, EU-SILC, SES, EWCS), the contractor will (1) construct a robust typology, (2) examine job creation patterns and structural changes in the labour market, (3) assess the impact of non-standard employment on income, economic vulnerability and access to social protection, and (4) analyse job quality and working conditions. The results will contribute to evidence-based policymaking and better understanding of labour market developments in the post-crisis era across the EU27.
