              The European Temporary Work Services Industry in 1994

              By  Paul Verdin,  Nick Van Heck
              Add to cart
              Since the 1990s, one observes a clear internationalization and consolidation trend in the European temporary work services. The diminishing role of the national legislation, the liberalization in some European countries for temporary work contracts and the growing trend of cross-border contracts of European multinationals with TWBs, were causing the current evolution in the industry.
