TRAJTEMBERG, David  e  VARELA, Hernán. Labour mobility of workers with temporary contracts: mechanism of access to stable employment or regularisation of labor instability?. Trab. soc. [online]. 2015, n.24, pp.109-130. ISSN 1514-6871.

In this paper we analyze the current status of the workers hired through Temporary Employment Agencies (TEA) in Argentina since 2008 until 2011. In addition we are interested in determining these employees´ probabilities of employment in more stable jobs. The starting point of our theoretical approach is that the employment contract for an indefinite period, continuous, with protection against dismissal and regulations covered by collective agreements and trade union organizations, is the central form of personnel recruitment which emerged in the Western economy, and was promoted in our country during the import substitution industrialization model. The figure of the temporary contract, which gained prominence with neoliberal governments that were installed since 1976, represents a break with the characteristics of the indefinite contract. The temporary contract is rooted in a contractual triangulation: a commercial relationship between firms and two labor relations (formal and informal). This triangulation dilutes the employer's responsibilities and, therefore, implies workforce fragmentation.
