Share of women in temporary employment by permanency of the job

This dataset contains the share of women in temporary employment with standardised age groups (15-24, 25-54, 55-64, 65+, total). <p /> Data are reported for employees. <p /> Temporary employees are wage and salary workers whose job has a pre-determined termination date as opposed to permanent employees whose job is of unlimited duration. They include: i) persons with a seasonal job; ii) persons engaged by an employment agency or business and hired out to a third party for carrying out a “work mission”; iii) persons with specific training contracts (including apprentices, trainees, research assistants, probationary period of a contract, etc.). Country-specific exceptions to this generic definition may be found in <a href="https://www.oecd.org/content/dam/oecd/en/data/datasets/employability-data/LFSNOTES_SOURCES.pdf">LFS_NOTES_SOURCES</a>. <p /> In order to facilitate analysis and comparisons over time, historical data for OECD members have been provided over as long a period as possible, often even before a country became a member of the Organisation. Information on the membership dates of all OECD countries can be found at <a href="http://www.oecd.org/about/membersandpartners/list-oecd-member-countries.htm">OECD Ratification Dates</a>
