The illustration depicts the proportion of part-timers in each of the British territories between 1980 and 2010. The areas that are taken into consideration are England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
On comparing the temporary employees in each borders, we notice that Scotland had a steep incline in between the two time periods. 11 percent of the working population were temps in the year 1980, this ratio increased to around 20% by the year 2010. England also had a steady increase in the workers, where a quarter of the employees were working on hourly-basis in 1980 which later climbed to 31% by the end of three decades. A nation that didn’t have much impact on part time workers is Wales, which had a very minute growth measuring less that five percentage.
On the otherhand, we notice a decline in the number of people who were employed temporarily in Northern Ireland. The drop of working population on temporary basis declined from 15 to12 percent which could suggest that more individuals may have found permanent jobs.
To sum up the report on the temporary working population in a span of 30 years we notice that people continue to have non-permanent jobs is majority of the countries in the United Kingdom except for the Northern Ireland.
