Abstract
This chapter describes the evolution of the industry, examining the dynamics and the performances of the temporary work agency field in Italy. It describes, the structural features and in particular turnover, employees and branch offices organization and structure of Italian TWAs, and moreover the levels of concentration in the sector. The chapter ends by illustrating several structural indicators of Italian TWAs and the collective performances of the industry. The analysis is based mainly on information and statistics taken from questionnaires filled in by representatives of Italian TWAs and from balance sheets of the last years. Additional information was taken from websites of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy and the agencies themselves. The section related to the collective performances of the industry is based on statistics gathered by professional associations.
