Flexibility is here to stay Clear correlation between competitiveness and labor market efficiency Companies using structural flexibility are more competitive and accelerate faster out of downturn 2 Outcome Randstad annual report 2013: Growth or decline of different types of flexible labor attributed to changes in local society, economic structures, institutions and legislation (mostly stable between 20 and 25% of total employment) Structural growth of agency work: penetration rates moving up over last decade but still small part of flexible labor relations and total employment (in average 1 to 3%) Flexible labor in general, and agency work in particular, facilitate transitions to employment and bring new non-traditional labor market participants to the labor market Strong correlation between the share of flexible labor and economic growth, particularly with respect to fixed-term contracts and agency work fixed term agency work self employed
