Malta : flexible forms of work : 'very atypical' contractual arrangements

Open Access

Abstract

Official statistics show that in the year 2007, there were about 7,588 persons engaged in some sort of non-standard form of employment. Overall, there was a small increase between 2004 and 2007 in the number of such workers. The large majority of workers in Malta appear to prefer job security over flexibility. While there is little debate about non-standard form of employment in Malta, the interest in flexicurity among social partners has recently increased. ; peer-reviewed
