Casual Work
Casual work, both intermittent and on-call, contributes to labour market flexibility and is therefore increasingly used across Europe. In some countries, practices go beyond the use of casual employment contracts to include other types of contracts and forms of self-employment. While it offers some advantages for both employers and workers, it is often discussed by policymakers at EU and national levels due to the observed negative consequences it has for some workers. Impacts include economic insecurity and unpredictability of working time, which in turn affect workers' health, well-being and social security. From a labour market perspective, casual work raises concerns about decent social inclusion of vulnerable groups, labour market segmentation and more general trends towards fragmentation of work and brain drain. Some policy responses have already been implemented to tackle these issues; further policy pointers are flagged in the report.
The Economics of Casual Labor
Dr. Morewedge presents recommendations for further concentrating the centers of the labor demand for the market, so as to bring about a fair level in the supply of casual labor, and to avoid the creation of a supply in excess of the total market demand at any one time.

The Migratory-Casual Worker (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from The Migratory-Casual Worker The explanation of this fact is partly economic and partly per sonal. A substantial portion of the occupations followed by the migratory-casual worker continued to provide some employment throughout the depression. The experienced migrant knew where and when he was most likely to find a job in the grain and fruit harvests, logging operations, shipping, road construction and main tenance, and other seasonal activities; and he continued to migrate to those places even though he knew the pay would be less than in previous years. This knowledge, plus a strong personal antipathy to being found in soup lines, helps to explain why the confirmed migratory-cas...
Casual Work Arrangements and Platform-Based Work
Platform work – in which work activities are channelled through web platforms or apps – has emerged as one of the major transformations in the world of work over the past decade. Although platform work presents many of the labour law issues related to casual work – often linked to insecure or precarious working conditions – until this book, no in-depth research has been conducted on specifically positioning platform work in the context of casual work arrangements. The author systematically evaluates how strategies aimed at regulating casual work can be extended to enhance the employment relationships and working conditions of platform workers. The analysis proceeds through a detailed...
