This chapter sets out to explore empirically three themes. First, to what extent has there been growth in flexible or non-standard forms of employment since 1979 in the UK, distinguishing carefully between part-time, temporary and self-employment? Second, to what extent are people working in non-standard forms of employment voluntarily and what can be said about the ‘quality’ of different forms of employment? Third, is non-standard employment more prevalent in the UK, with its relatively less regulated labour market, compared with other advanced industrial countries? Are there any links between the prevalence of non-standard employment and the degree of regulation of the labour market?
