Strategies for surveying platform workers
Job quality among platform workers has been high on labour market researchers’ agendas. Nevertheless, many report difficulties in collecting data for this group of workers. Platform workers meet many of the criteria of hard-to-survey populations. The aim of this paper is to evaluate whether purposive, non-probability sampling can provide a good strategy for collecting information on the job quality of platform workers through an internet survey (…
Cross-national relationships between employment quality and mental well-being
Existing literature underscores the significant influence of organized labour on shaping national contexts, not only in terms of labour market regulation but also on redistributive policies impacting population health. We investigate how employment quality (EQ), mental well-being, and their relation are influenced by broader socio-political factors across Europe, employing a Power Resource Theory (PRT) approach. We first establish an EQ typology …
Employment Quality as a Health Determinant
In this study, the authors investigate the health associations of different employment arrangements in the contemporary European labor market. In doing so, a new approach based on the concept of 'employment quality' is introduced. Employment quality refers to the multiple dimensions characterizing the employment situation of wage- and self-employed (European Working Conditions Survey 2015 - N = 31,929). Latent class cluster analyses were applied …

Then, we provide a compiled overview of the evidence on the sociodemographic and European cross-country distribution of employment quality…
