Method & notes
Permanent employment formed the largest category for most provider groups, but contract and temporary work remained substantial in several categories.
METHOD & LIMITATIONSPosition type among government/private-sector employees only.
PulseKita reproduces MOHE Higher Education Statistics 2023 Table 7.8. The table covers only respondents working as government or private-sector employees and classifies their position as permanent, contract, temporary or part-time.
- The denominator excludes entrepreneurs, people working with family and other non-employee work arrangements.
- Provider categories differ in programme mix and respondent count.
- Small-provider groups such as MOTAC and KKR should be interpreted cautiously.
- Position type is one dimension of job quality; it does not measure pay, benefits, job-field match or career progression.
