    AB: Abstract
    Reviews the international data on the incidence and trends of temporary employment and summarises current research in Europe; examines the Australian case. Highlights the pattern of rapid growth in casual employment, explains what is meant by the category of casual, both in official statistics and in practice, and considers the pitfalls in using the Australian data on casual employees in cross-national comparisons of temporary employees. Concludes with comments on the differences and similarities in the comparison of trends in casual employment in Australia and trends in temporary employment in Europe. (Original abstract - amended)
