Quality of employment General information

Safety at work and gender equality

Safety and ethics of employment are fundamental aspects of quality of em­ploy­ment. Physical well being as well as a fair treatment are laid down in the in­ter­na­tio­nal labour conventions and subject to regulations in many countries.

The indicators of the dimension provide information on accidents and conditions at work as well as unfair treatment of certain groups of em­ployed persons. In par­ti­cu­lar, the dimension focuses on the equal treatment of men and women or of Ger­mans and foreigners.
