The Contingent Workforce Index (CWI) measures the relative ease of sourcing, hiring and retaining a contingent workforce
in competing labor markets. The CWI draws from 50+ country data points for 75 countries to assign a numerical value that
represents the relative difficulty of entering one labor market versus another. Countries with the highest rankings offer the
most ideal workforce conditions for contingent labor. Find out more here at www.manpowergroup.com.
