Decent work in Europe - An index

October 2017, Mag.a Susanne Halmer BA, Selma Kaya BA, 33 pages

Since 1999, the Decent Work Agenda of the International Labor Organization (ILO) has been an important strategy for development and the fight against poverty. The concept of decent work is primarily aimed at providing people with a productive, safe and fairly paid work that allows them to live a good life. Based on these ILO considerations, what “decent work” could be, the ÖGPP has created an index with twenty indicators of the categories “labor market policy”, “social security”, “representation” and “income inequality”. It is intended to make the working conditions in different European countries comparable, to show achievements with regard to qualitative work, but also to point to problems and to show need for political action.
