Abstract

This chapter describes the different phases that characterize the evolution of temporary work agency (TWA) industry in Italy. We identify four phases. The first one, the incubation phase began in the eighties when a period of intense lobbying and negotiation led to the introduction of agency work within the Italian legal system and therefore to the emergence of the sector in 1997. Then, the chapter describes and analyses the events involved in the phases of development of the sector during the period 2003/2015, including the recent crisis which affected the entire global economy. The regulatory framework of the sector will be presented with an analysis of the impact on the behavior of the key actors involved. In conclusion, temporary agency work will be compared with other forms of contingent work, according to different organizational dimensions.
