Abstract: Abstract. Within the framework of the European Employment Strategy, the European Union has defined a set of indicators to monitor employment quality — the so‐called Laeken indicators. This article discusses and implements these indicators. From a theoretical perspective, it shows that the concept of work quality encompasses several dimensions, which are likely to be related to national institutions, particularly industrial relations and welfare systems.

“…Countries likely differ in many ways that are amenable to policy, including their education and employment institutions (see Davoine et al, 2008, andGallie, 2007). The identification of just why some countries have done so well will surely help us to identify ways in which what remains an essential element of so many people's lives can be improved.…”

“…Empirical studies point out the main determinants of working poverty: low earnings (Crettaz and Bonoli 2010), personal characteristics and professional status of the employed person (Fraser et al 2011;Herman 2014), household structure of the worker Latta 2004, Hellier andChusseau 2013), different dysfunctions of the labour market (EU 2012;Herman and Georgescu 2012) and the welfare states regimes (Davoine et al 2008).

Por su parte, la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE) y la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) han avanzado también en una agenda de trabajo que incorpora medidas multidimensionales de la calidad del empleo (Bescond, Chataignier y Mehran, 2003;Anker y otros, 2003;Davoine, Erhel y Guergoat-Larivière, 2008). En términos generales, se trata de propuestas que incluyen aspectos como el ingreso, la estabilidad laboral, la jornada laboral, la capacitación y la autonomía del trabajador, entre otras dimensiones.…”
