Abstract The first part of this issue of the ILO's Conditions of Work Digest consists of "fact sheets" which summarise the legislative framework regulating working time in 31 industrialised countries and provide examples of flexibility in collective agreements and entreprise-level practices; the 2nd part is an annotated bibliography, and the 3rd one is a glossary giving definitions of the most widely used terms related to working time. Topics covered: working time issues (including hours of work, shift work, part-time work and flexible hours), work organisation and job content, the impact of new technology and quality of working life, working conditions of women and other specific groups (including child labour), work-related welfare services and facilities, shop floor participation in the improvement of working conditions.
