Occupational profiles in working conditions: Identification of groups with multiple disadvantages

The report measures Job quality on the basis of such aspects of working conditions as earnings, prospects, working time, and intrinsic job quality.

Occupations where job quality is consistently low are labelled ‘occupations with multiple disadvantages’.

This report finds that workers in mid-skilled manual and lowskilled occupations do quite poorly when it comes to earnings, prospects and intrinsic job quality, but their working time quality is generally good. In contrast, workers in high-skilled occupations do relatively well on almost all job quality indicators, except working time.
