Measuring Quality of Employment: Country Pilot Reports
In 2007, under the auspices of the Conference of European Statisticians (CES), a Task Force was set up to develop a concept for statistical measurement of quality of employment unifying the elements in the existing approaches and taking into account the work done by previous expert groups. The Task Force was composed of representatives from national statistical offices of Canada (chair), France, Finland, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Poland, from the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat), the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound), the non‐governmental organization Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). Later, representatives from Mexico, Republic of Moldova and Ukraine joined the Task Force. The work of the Task Force was led by a Steering Committee comprising Canada (chair) and the following Task Force members: Eurostat, ILO, UNECE and WIEGO. This publication includes a concept paper on “Statistical Measurement of Quality of Employment” that the Task Force developed and reports of the nine countries that tested the validity of the proposed set of indicators grouped in seven dimensions.
