There exists a wide range of employment opportunities in the UK. Between 1997 and 2002, working patterns are broadly unchanged
(chart 6.5.1). Chart 6.5.2, displaying the trends over a longer time period, shows that the incidence of part-time working picked up in the early 1990s, while the incidence of self-employment fell
(chart 6.5.2). The proportion of people working part-time in the UK is high, when compared with other EU Member States, whereas the incidence of temporary employment appears to be below the European average
(chart 6.5.3).
