| description | "As part of their joint sectoral social dialogue work programme, Eurociett and UNI Europa are aiming to improve the knowledge and gather qualitative as well as quantitative data on how temporary agency work can contribute to facilitating transitions in the labour market, thereby fostering progression in the career paths of agency workers in line with the concept of “making transitions pay”.
More concretely, the aim of the analysis that the social partners in the temporary agency work sector commissioned was to obtain quantitative as well as qualitative data and information on the following key questions:
What is the role of temporary agency work and the sectoral social partners in facilitating sideward and upward transitions in the labour market for agency workers?
What is the profile of temporary agency workers?
What are the evolution and progression patterns of the agency workers in the labour market?
What are the working conditions of agency workers? And how the social partners can improve them?
What are the sectoral initiatives set up by the social partners to improve quality of transitions, such as temporary agency work sectoral social partners’ jointly managed training funds, social funds or pension funds for temporary agency workers)? National case studies should be identified and studied as best practices.
This study has been carried out by an international team of experts coordinated by Wilke, Maack and Partner in order to facilitate these objectives and is a result of a tender that the social partners issued in December 2011. The study has been implemented between February and November 2012, closely monitored by a steering group consisting of the two European social partner organisations as well as representatives of national members. Preliminary results of this study have been presented to a stakeholders’ meeting with representatives of social partner organisations from the temporary agency work sector across Europe as well as from European institutions and the academic world. Furthermore, preliminary results also have been presented and discussed at a Social Dialogue Committee meeting in June 2012.
The final results of the project have been presented and discussed at a European conference on 19th December 2012 in Brussels where also UNI Europa and Eurociett agreed on joint “Recommendations on temporary agency work facilitating transitions in the labour market” that are included in this final study reports." |
