In Germany, there are almost one million temporary workers today, as opposed to 140,000 in 1994. The number of fixed-term contracts also substantially increased, notably for first jobs. “Ten years ago, less than one in three people were hired with a fixed-term contract. Now, it’s one in two” said Joachim Möller, IAB director.
