AB - For many years, the majority of workers in the industrialised West have shared a similar employment life-course - one based on full-time permanent work. However, over the last decade the number of such opportunities have started to decline and many more workers are participating in "non-standard" forms of employment. Using data from the UK's Labour Force Survey, and the Canadian General Social Survey, this paper traces the trends in "non-standard" employment over the 1989 to 1994 period. The findings illustrate that, although the majority of workers are still in full-time permanent jobs, an increasing proportion are engaged in "non-standard" employment. The paper suggests that certain groups are more likely to be involved in "non-standard" employment than others, and that increasingly these tend to be made up of workers at one end or other of the working age spectrum.
