QUALITY OF YOUTH EMPLOYMENT IN THE CONTEXT OF THE OECD

The lack of youth employment and its poor quality are not consistent with sustainable development, nor with the 2030 agenda. These weaknesses need to be corrected. This paper reviews the conceptualization and measurement of job quality and, based on the OECD Job Quality Index, presents a synthetic indicator, with different components, through which it makes a comparison of job quality means for the group of workers and youth. The results show the presence of significant differences in certain indicators that indicate the keys to follow to solve the problem.
