tackling undeclared work
The 2014 edition of Flexibility@ work focuses on the causes and prevention of undeclared work. This study - conducted by the University of Sheffield and Regioplan Policy Research - reveals that countries with a smaller undeclared economy are those in which it is easier for companies to resort to temporary employment opportunities to meet labor demands and in which, at the same time, there is greater intervention (in the form of labor market policies that protect and support vulnerable groups of workers). By creating the right environment these relatively successful economies reduce the supply and demand of undeclared work by providing both workers and employers with better alternative
On this report we will look closely at:
- what is undeclared work?
- rationales for tackling the undeclared economy
- size of the undeclared economy
- regulations on temporary employment and temporary work agencies
