How the improved EU-LFS may contribute to better quality-in-work
indicators
![Page 13: ECE/ILO/Eurostat seminar on measurement of the quality of work (11-13 May 2005) The EU Labour Force Survey and indicators of quality in work](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649f1b5503460f94c315c4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
1 Intrinsic job quality
• Problem:– Missing context indicator: Job satisfaction not
measured in the EU-SILC
• Suggested solution:– Employed persons looking for another job and
reasons for doing so
• Note also:– Convenience of atypical working times for
personal life situation in the ad hoc module on work organisation in 2004
![Page 14: ECE/ILO/Eurostat seminar on measurement of the quality of work (11-13 May 2005) The EU Labour Force Survey and indicators of quality in work](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649f1b5503460f94c315c4/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
2 Skills, life-long learning and career development
• New core module since 2003– Matching of training field and job
specialisation ?– Matching of level and field of completed
education and job skill and specialisation requirement ?
– Monitoring of certain key training fields:• Computer skills• Languages
![Page 15: ECE/ILO/Eurostat seminar on measurement of the quality of work (11-13 May 2005) The EU Labour Force Survey and indicators of quality in work](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649f1b5503460f94c315c4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
3 Gender equality
• New core module variable:– Supervisory responsibilities; gender aspect
• With better coverage of income:– Income outcomes by gender
• Gender segregation indices may need further evaluation
![Page 16: ECE/ILO/Eurostat seminar on measurement of the quality of work (11-13 May 2005) The EU Labour Force Survey and indicators of quality in work](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649f1b5503460f94c315c4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4 Health and safety at work
• No index suggested
• However,– Ad hoc module on accidents at work and
work related deceases in– 1999– 2007
![Page 17: ECE/ILO/Eurostat seminar on measurement of the quality of work (11-13 May 2005) The EU Labour Force Survey and indicators of quality in work](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649f1b5503460f94c315c4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
5 Flexibility and security
• Problem:– Use of part-time and involuntary part-time
unsatisfactory
• Solution:– Since 2005 possible to use in ALL Member
States the ILO definition from 1998 of “time-related underemployment”
![Page 18: ECE/ILO/Eurostat seminar on measurement of the quality of work (11-13 May 2005) The EU Labour Force Survey and indicators of quality in work](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649f1b5503460f94c315c4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
7 Work organisation and work-life balance
• New core variable:– Need for care facilities

incapacitated adults
• See also– Ad hoc modules on working times 2001, 2004– Ad hoc module in 2005 on reconciliation of family
and working life

10 Overall work performance
• Improvements in methodology and imputation of annual hours worked
![Page 21: ECE/ILO/Eurostat seminar on measurement of the quality of work (11-13 May 2005) The EU Labour Force Survey and indicators of quality in work](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649f1b5503460f94c315c4/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Conclusion
• The EU-LFS is the major source for measuring quality in work within the EU
• Recent developments and improvements of the EU-LFS enable still better and more precise quality-in-work indicators
• This presentation suggests some avenues of improvement
