| contents | Differences in the job satisfaction of high-paid and low-paid workers across Europe Konstantinos Pouliakas I. Theodossiou Data from six waves of the European Community Household Panel (1996–2001) in 11 countries suggest that low-paid employees are significantly less satisfied with their job than the high-paid in southern Europe, but not in the northern countries. Proxying job satisfaction for job quality, the authors show that while low-paid employment does not necessarily mean low-quality employment, workers in some countries suffer the double penalty of low pay and low job quality. Such dualism across European labour markets, they argue, reflects different country-level approaches to the trade-off between flexibility and security, calling for a policy focus on the latter to enhance job quality. 10.1111/j.1564-913X.2010.00073.x DOI https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1564-913X.2010.00073.x publication.journalArticle |
