Usage Note

Temporalidad refers to the quality of being temporary, especially in labour contexts: la temporalidad laboral ('precarious fixed-term employment') is a staple of Spanish economic debate. It contrasts with estabilidad (permanence). The adjective temporal can mean both 'temporary' and 'of time', so context matters.
