scope
In the European Union , an increasing number of people are working part-time or on a fixed-term basis. In particular, this is the case for a third of workers between the ages of 25 and 39, and their part-time work is mostly involuntary.
In 2017, based on an evaluation of Eurostat data, the journalist team Investigate Europe came to the conclusion that the increase in fixed-term contracts and part-time jobs in the EU was due to the deregulation of European labor markets and is damaging the economy.
