Resumen: In contemporary countries, the growing need for flexibility and its impact on labour markets are highly debated issues. The flexibilisation of labour markets has led to a growing proportion of workers in various atypical employment relationships such as temporary jobs. In this respect Spain stands out from a European perspective as a country that experienced a fast and intense shift from one of the most rigid employment protection systems to a highly flexible labour market with an extraordinarily high proportion of temporary employees. The Spanish Labour market is highly segmented in insiders on permanent positions, outsiders (unemployed and inactive) and work-insecure employees on temporary posts, particularly among youth. This paper attempts to gauge the impact of increasing flexibilisation on transitions to adulthood in Spain. We concentrate on three interrelated transitions, labour market entry, first marriage and first parenthood. Previous contributions have well elaborated the repercussions of nonemployment on transitions to adulthood. What makes this paper distinct is the particular focus on precarious employment relationships and individuals' perception of job security. We find some first indication that the type of employment relationship and the perception of job security seem to matter in the studied transition processes.
