[PDF] European JustJobs Index

See all tags
In this brief, we have presented the European JustJobs Index, a regional measure that broadens the discourse on employment and that addresses job quality...The European JustJobs Index is aimed at providing a basis for a comprehensive discussion on JustJobs and some initial analysis of trends were provided. Both versions of the European JustJobs Index showed an overall downward decline in JustJobs with some countries dropping substantially over the last 13 years. The financial crisis of 2008 has led to steep decline in countries such as Spain, Greece and Italy. Examining the indices further, reductions in social security expenditures (such as unemployment benefits) and increased inequality contributed to the declining trend in JustJobs. The index illustrates that addressing inequality and social security are essential for JustJobs.
