PARTIDA ROCHA, Raquel. Nuevas formas de empleo flexible en México: el trabajo subcontratado en las agencias de colocación en Jalisco. Región y sociedad [online]. 2001, vol.13, n.22, pp.99-127. ISSN 2448-4849.

The purpose of this article is to show the new forms of labor in Jalisco, which is based on subcontracting via the Employment Agencies (EAS). The starting point is the assumption that the productive reestructuring which originated in the 1980s caused job flexibility, and this gave rise to the emergence of temporary and subcontracted work through the EAS. The document attempts to start a discussion, contributing some elements to the subject. This text is divided into three sections: in the first some references about the employment agencies are presented; in the second section a definition of subcontracting is characterized, and the third section is devoted to the EAS in Jalisco.
