Abstract
In the last two decades, a significant percentage of EU country members has carried out certain changes in their regulations on matters affecting the labour market. The development of new legislation aimed at promoting the so-called «atypical» labour contracts, that is, temporary and part-time contracts, is one of the reforms most widely-implemented. As a result of those regulations, the share of these contract modalities within the total employment figure has increased significantly, thus producing a segmentation of the labour market. The present study has two basic goals. Firstly, it aims to establish the atypical workers' fundamental characteristics within the European Union, with a stress on the main similarities and differences found with regard to the Spanish situation. Secondly, the study aims to determine whether labour contracts on a part-time basis can be considered as an efficient instrument for the employment growth.
