The theoretical grounds to regional analysis of atypical employment forms

Year, pages: 2005, 43 - 55

One purpose of this paper is to search the answers for the question whether the programmes elaborated for non-standard employment forms – in the mirror of scientific analyses – are capable for decreasing spatial differences of unemployment or not. The most important method of this critical review was the logical-chronological enumeration of the results of mainly sociological, economic and partly – because of the small number of researches – geographical papers. The logical analysis of the aims, methods and results of papers examining the content and features, the impedient and encouraging factors and the socioeconomic characteristics of non-standard forms were accomplished paralelly, completing it with critical opinions and attitudes on the system of advantages and disadvantages of these forms. It has become evident from the analysis of long-distance tendencies in the expansion of atypical forms in the EU and in the states with a 2004 accession date that the most paramount difference can be found in the stability of trends of development. In Hungary, initiatives in employment policy have had little effect on atypical employment. But in the future, because of growing competition and reducing payment disparity, though with regional differences, one can expect the expansion of flexible forms of employment.
