Summary/Abstract: A sociological analysis of work contracts in welfare state countries. It shows the process of institutionalisation of a work contract as economic, legal and social institution historically and comparatively. It discusses contemporary dilemmas connected with the development of flexible job market and untypical forms of employment, as well as the conditions for changes in job and employment forms in the future. The second part presents the results of research and analyses concerning the attitudes of young people toward untypical models of employment and the social consequences of job market flexibility.
