SweJEM: Low employment quality
A quantitative job-exposure matrix (JEM) for a multidimensional construct of low employment quality from 1992-2017 in five-year intervals (1992, 1997, 2002, 2007, 2012, 2017). The JEM is also stratified by age strata and gender. The JEM gives the proportion of workers classified as having a low employment quality for each occupational code (NYK, SSYK96 and SSYK2012).
The JEM was developed based on a theoretical and empirical model of low employment quality, sometimes called precarious employment, as a multidimensional construct including the following three dimensions: employment insecurity, income inadequacy, and lack of rights and protection. (Kreshpaj et al 2020)
The JEM describes an index of five items corresponding to three dimensions of low employment quality: contractual relationship insecurity, contractual temporariness, multiple jobs/sectors, income level, and lack of unionization. The index ranges between -10 and +2 and the cut-off for low employment quality is below -3. (Jonsson et al 2021)
