Description
Summary:Vulnerability is the degree to which a system is likely to be damaged as a result of exposure to disturbances or stress. The specific literature about the vulnerable employment groups has focused on women, ethnic minorities, long term unemployment, underemployment and secondary labour markets summarized in migrants' labour force or informal market. Social discrimination, marginal employment and low pay are the benchmarks of vulnerability of these groups. Even if the labour law's at national and international level supports these groups, the directives and regulations issued as a response to employment vulnerability have been piecemeal and they had a weak resonance on the rights of vulnerable workers. The first phase of the analysis aims to provide an overview, at territorial level, on the employment vulnerability components: social protection and job insecurity. Phase two is based on a multi-criteria analysis of the national employment vulnerability. The diagnostic analysis is structured following the employment vulnerability diagnostic tree. We developed a scoring based on the deviation from the average of a group of key indicators such as: gross average expenditure for unemployed social protection, economic dependency ratio, monthly average state social insurance pension, share of unemployed from the private sector, share of population with low skills/ training, the proportion of people mainly employed in one or a limited number of activities and so on.
