The Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Ministry of Justice and Public Security would like to enter into a research contract for the period 2016-2017. The objective is to map, analyse and find effects of whether the new general access to temporary employment gives increased access to ordinary working life for groups with a weak connection to working life.

The project shall map, analyse and find effects of whether the new general access to temporary employment gives increased access to ordinary working life for groups with a weak connection to working life. The project shall look at the effects for immigrants. In addition other groups that have problems with getting a foothold in working life can be looked at.

The contracting authority is particularly concerned in highlighting the following problems/themes as a starting point for the assignment.

Describe what characterises the temporary employees in the groups that the project is looking at. This can, for example, be questions on:

— Where do they come from before they get temporary employment and where do they go afterwards?

— How long are the contracts?

— To what degree do they participate in training initiatives and work that involves intensive learning?

— Are there differences between men and women in these areas?

Analyse what effects temporary employment has for persons in the groups that the project is looking at. This will make up most of the project.

See annex 1 in the contract documents (the contracting authority's description of the assignment) for further description.
