HOMEWORKING: ‐ The flexible workforce ‐

In recent years there has been a shift in the labour market. The model of full‐time employment has in numerous cases been replaced by a model of more flexible forms of employment. Novel forms of contractual relationships have thus emerged, some of the more common ones being part time; short term; and homeworking (and piece working) contracts. Important as they are, it is not proposed to consider part‐time and short term employment in this monograph. What will be analysed is the notion of the homeworker.
