It evaluates job quality across seven dimensions: earnings, prospects, skills and discretion, working time, work intensity, social environment and physical environment. The report looks at workers’ working lives, considering aspects such as r work–life balance, career and employment security, health and well-being and sustainability. It describes how jobs fare on the basis of job quality and the role of job quality in supporting good working lives.

This high-quality survey covers 34 European countries, including the 27 EU Member States, Norway, Switzerland and six candidate and potential candidate countries : Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Serbia. Over 35,000 interviews, each lasting approximately 45 minutes, took place as part of the survey.
