Abstract

Since the first democratic elections after the Francoist dictatorship (20 June 1977), important changes have taken place in Spain. These have affected the economic and social structure, culture, labour relations, gender relations and everyday life. The changes have been influenced by both external factors (globalization, European integration) and internal factors (political democratization, territorial restructuring, social demands and cultural changes). This context of deep and rapid transformation in the socioeconomic model must be taken into account in order to understand the puzzle that is the current employment system. The drivers of these changes are diverse, as we will see. Our hypothesis is that there have been significant breaks with the past, but these are not of a radical nature and are instead combined with significant degrees of continuity.
