7s a job a job? If you looked at unemployment data, you would think so. But
economists since Adam Smith know that jobs differ in the quality, difficulty or
pleasure of doing them. Thus they tend to assume that markets would equalize
wage per unit of difficulty of a job, and that they do not need to worry about intrinsic
job quality. The authors show that this is wrong and that in an era of plenty for many
(although not for all), the challenge is to create high-quality jobs and to find ways of
comparing them in terms of fulfillment afforded to workers. This book addresses a
new and growing field of study: for it certainly matters if we are happy or unhappy in
an activity that takes almost one-third of our lives and often defines who we are.

'This is a book every labour economist or sociologist interested in job quality
should read. It provides a well-written overview of the depth and breadth of this
field, presenting a systematic review of this complex multidimensional concept and
discussing more than
20
of the indicators currently in use. The volume goes beyond
the current literature by developing a sound, empirically tested Job Quality Index for
the European Union. It was definitely a pleasure reading this volume.

'This highly readable and authoritative book on the social economics of job quality
comes at a critical time as policy makers, employers and unions seek to rebuild
jobs after the economic crisis. The team of authors are leading experts on European
employment trends and policy and have produced an excellent study that proposes
a new index of job quality for Europe. Given its depth and breadth of coverage of
theory and already existing indicators, the book is likely to be a landmark study.
Readers will enjoy the engaging review of past and present works of classical
political economy and behavioural economics and will benefit from the expert
critical appraisal of more than
20
existing proposals for job quality indices. Most
importantly, the authors design and test a new European Job Quality Index that
provides a reliable and coherent measure of five critical dimensions of the character
of contemporary jobs. Measuring More than Money is a much-needed analysis that
will interest both specialists and anyone concerned about job quality. The proposed
indicator deserves to be adopted and will enable policy makers to make good
their commitment to sustainability and equality across Europe by monitoring and
responding to a good job quality measure.

Mainstream economics traditionally restricts the analysis of the labour market to
purely monetary factors, such as earnings, leaving aside many other characteristics
that might affect the desirability of certain jobs. By contrast, this unique volume
explores the alternatives and problems faced by researchers in quantifying and
measuring a broader notion of job quality. The contributors expertly explore the
different approaches to measurement and analyse both the advantages and
disadvantages of the various methods within a European context. |
