Work and Life Quality in New and Growing Jobs (WALQING)

Date: 2009 - 2012

Funded by: European Commission, Research Directorate General, 7th Framework programme/Theme 8/Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities (SSH)

WALQING aims to explore the linkages between ‘new jobs’, conditions of work and employment in these jobs and more or less favourable outcomes for employees’ quality of work and life. To achieve this, WALQING combines data analysis of the chief European data sources, in-depth comparative investigation of stakeholder policies, organisational arrangements and strategies, and the perspectives and agency of individuals in ‘new jobs’.
