Demand-Side Employment Analysis

Components of employment—companies are changing and the use of the following three main interacting components of employment may increasingly become more common:

1. 1. A core workforce of full-time full-year workers within organizations;

   2. A group of skilled, self-employed and professional workers who work mainly on a contract or project basis either chiefly for one organization or a number of different ones; and

   3. A peripheral or contingent group of workers who are involved in part-time, temporary or seasonal work, and who often are low-skilled.
