However, focusing exclusively on how many jobs an economy generates provides only a partial perspective on the challenge confronting policy makers, since people’s well-being depends crucially on how good their jobs are. Job quality is not only a key determinant of the well-being of individuals and of the households in which they live (an end in its own right), but can also be an important driver of increased labour force participation, productivity and aggregate economic performance (a means towards better economic performance). Hence, when assessing how policy and institutions can promote job-rich economic growth, it is important to look at both the quantity and quality of the jobs created.
