Six years of research into flexible working: findings and insights for the future
For six years, Timon de Groot and Jeroen van Veldhoven, under the supervision of Lex Heerma van Voss, researched various forms and the extensive history of flexible labour in the Netherlands since the Second World War. The topics range from married women in part-time positions in the 1950s to the arrival of migrant workers at temporary employment agencies and the false self-employed workers of recent years. De Groot and Van Veldhoven show that flexible work is by no means a recent phenomenon.
Tim Ruting compiled the findings of this Institute Gak-funded project in the public report ‘Flexible labour in the Dutch polder (1950-2020)’. Thanks to the report, the scientific results are now also accessible and available to people outside the field. A digital version of the report can be downloaded below.
The report will be presented on 17 March at 4 p.m., introduced by De Groot and Van Veldhoven. The report will be presented to Samantha Oey, Strategic Policy Advisor Labour Law & Employee Participation at VNO-NCW, Erik Pentenga, former Sector Director FNV Compliance, Revenue Models & Flex, and Atie de Ruiter, vervangend afdelingshoofd en teamcoördinator Flexibele Arbeid bij het Ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid.
