Definition

Employees aged 15 to 64 with a temporary job or a fixed-term contract, as a percentage of all employees aged 15 to 64. A job is temporary when employer and employee agree that it ends on a set date, on completion of a task or on the return of a worker who is being replaced.

Counts employees only; self-employed people are excluded. From the EU labour force survey. Eurostat flags series breaks (most in 2021, under the new framework regulation for social statistics); they are stored as status break.
