Atypical work covers a large and growing variety of forms of work and employment characterized by flexibility and reduced security. They include part-time work, casual and seasonal work, job sharing, fixed-term work, temporary agency work, home-based work, telework, own-account work, and contributing family work. These forms of work differ from the norm historically regarded as typical or standard, namely full-time, socially secure employment of unlimited duration, with a single employer, performed at the employer’s workplace and with a guaranteed regular income.
