Framework graphic with the entry point 'Strengthen Employment Security (Income and Benefits)' highlighted

EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY

Government units and a range of stakeholders (e.g., industry and advocacy groups) address changes in the nature of employment (due to gig economy and automation) and employment status (e.g., seasonal work).

SAMPLE INDICATORS

  • Job stability (e.g., for those with precarious working arrangements)
  • Number/percentage of workers who secured full-time employment (e.g., stratified by age or socioeconomic status)
  • Number/percentage of workers who report thriving financially and enjoying economic growth
  • Number/percentage of workers who are overqualified for their jobs (e.g., stratified by race/ethnicity)


EVIDENCE-BASED STRATEGY

Policies and programs ensure employment conditions and work practices are stable, inclusive, and supportive of wealth generation, health, and overall wellbeing.

SAMPLE INDICATORS

  • Availability of opportunities for promotion and career advancement (e.g., stratified by sex, gender, sexual orientation, and race/ethnicity)
  • Accommodation of breastfeeding employees’ requirements in workplaces
  • Number/percentage of terminations of employment for failure to perform due to age or disability (i.e., where no legal protections exist)
