  18. Job quality in europe

  19. Eurofound’s approach to measuring quality of work • Composite indicators based on the European Working Conditions Survey • Approach: • We consider: work itself (the activity) and the nature of the physical location of the employment • But not: the nature of the labour market and beyond • We want to describe: • Characteristics of the job (facts) • Guiding question: to what extend does the job fulfil workers’ needs from work • But not: subjective elements (expectations, feelings, preferences) • Aim: Obtain a measure of job quality independent of workers’ personal circumstances and the external labour market

  20. Quality of work in Eurofound‘s study

  21. Earnings (relative to Romania)

  22. Working Time Quality (relative to Montenegro)

  26. Percentage of individuals with low quality jobs, by gender

  27. Job quality indices in EU-15 countries, 1995 - 2010

  28. Change in Skills andDiscretion(T) bycountry in the EU 15, 1995 – 2010

  29. Change in Work Intensity (T) bycountry in theEU 151995 – 2010

  30. Conclusion from the 5th EWCS • One fifth ‚low quality‘ jobs are too much • Physical environment has hardly improved – in spite of effirts • Increasing work intensity leads to risk of high stress levels – impact on ‘sustainability’ • Increase in index for skills and discretion in some countries is positive • Working Time Quality has improved in all countries – but flexibility of working time for workers must be monitored

  31. Green jobs

  32. More and better green jobs? • Net job creation effect of greening of industries is likely to be neutral • Data from the European Restructuring Monitor shows ‘green’ sector facing turbulences • Impact of ‘greening’ on quality of jobs mainly through skills and training dimension • ‘Greening’ as such is not a topic of major importance for social partners • Little or no social dialogue in newly emerging industries

  33. Level of engagement and mobilisation by national governments and social partners
