However, in this study, the role played by individual, jobs and residence characteristics are analyzed on the prob-ability of having a fixed-term employment versus permanent employment. It is analyzed concretely by branch of activity, to check which are the char-acteristics that would make it possible the existence of the fixed-term em-ployment in each of them. To achieve this aim, there are estimated models of logistic regression using the information of the Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment from 2nd quarter of 2007 to the 2nd quarter of 2010, elaborated by the National Institute of Statistics and Cen-suses (INEC).
