Being a temp comes with a number of drawbacks: a lack of job security, often low pay - and if you’re a man, anyway, little chance of tying the knot.
So says the latest labor ministry survey, released Wednesday, which found that out of some 700 single, male temporary workers aged 20 to 34 who responded, only 17.2 percent of them got married between 2002 to 2008, while the marriage rate for male regular employees was nearly double that at 32.2 percent, according to the survey.
