Is the statement made about employment fair or misleading?

  • A deleted answer posted concerns that the definition of “temporary” may vary from country to country.

    Without a (consistent) definition of "temporary employment" the statement is meaningless.

  • Indeed, the definition of temporary employment may vary, but the image includes a citation to a 2004 paper that carefully examines this question before comparing the figures.
