This document proposes a new framework for measuring and assessing job quality in OECD countries. It focuses on three dimensions of job quality: earnings quality, labor market security, and quality of the work environment. For each dimension, it outlines how it will be measured and provides country comparisons. It finds that job quality varies significantly across countries and some groups like youth tend to have weaker job quality outcomes. An assessment of job quality is important for evaluating labor market performance and individual well-being.

Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

Data Centers - Striving Within A Narrow Range - Research Report - MCG - May 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) expects to see demand and the changing evolution of supply, facilitated through institutional investment rotation out of offices and into work from home (“WFH”), while the ever-expanding need for data storage as global internet usage expands, with experts predicting 5.3 billion users by 2023. These market factors will be underpinned by technological changes, such as progressing cloud services and edge sites, allowing the industry to see strong expected annual growth of 13% over the next 4 years.
Whilst competitive headwinds remain, represented through the recent second bankruptcy filing of Sungard, which blames “COVID-19 and other macroeconomic trends including delayed customer spending decisions, insourcing and reductions in IT spending, energy inflation and reduction in demand for certain services”, the industry has seen key adjustments, where MCG believes that engineering cost management and technological innovation will be paramount to success.
MCG reports that the more favorable market conditions expected over the next few years, helped by the winding down of pandemic restrictions and a hybrid working environment will be driving market momentum forward. The continuous injection of capital by alternative investment firms, as well as the growing infrastructural investment from cloud service providers and social media companies, whose revenues are expected to grow over 3.6x larger by value in 2026, will likely help propel center provision and innovation. These factors paint a promising picture for the industry players that offset rising input costs and adapt to new technologies.
According to M Capital Group: “Specifically, the long-term cost-saving opportunities available from the rise of remote managing will likely aid value growth for the industry. Through margin optimization and further availability of capital for reinvestment, strong players will maintain their competitive foothold, while weaker players exit the market to balance supply and demand.”

• Why does job quality matter?
– A key element of individual well-being (i.e. an end in its own right)
– Determines labour force participation, worker commitment and
productivity (i.e. a means to greater economic performance)
• Despite the importance of job quality, it has received limited attention
in the international policy debate
– Assessment of policies and institutions has tended to focus on their
impact on job quantity (e.g. Reassessed Jobs Strategy, Europe 2020)
– Need to assess labour market performance in terms of more and
better jobs
• A major obstacle to giving more prominence to job quality has been the
difficulties of defining and measuring it
– Multi-dimensional nature of job quality
– But also requires addressing many other difficult issues
Job quality, labour market
performance and well-being
3. 3
• Growing momentum with proliferation of initiatives on job quality
and the measurement of well being
– EC (2001), Eurofound, ILO (2012), EMCO (2013), UNECE (2014)
(see Table 1 of the hand-out for an overview)
– Similar trend for quest of going beyond GDP by focusing on well
being (Stiglitz Commission, 2009; OECD How is Life?, 2011)
• Propose a new conceptual and operational framework to measure
and assess job quality in OECD countries
− Focus on worker well-being building on Stiglitz et al.
− Favour actionability over comprehensiveness
− Improve and extend over time
• Provide an overview of job quality across OECD countries and
socio-economic groups

• Focus on outcomes experienced by workers
– Consistent with well-being perspective
– Allows evaluating the role of policies and institutions
• Concentrate on individual workers
– To take account of the distribution of job quality outcomes
– Allows assessing to what extent poor outcomes on one
dimensions are associated with poor outcomes on another
• Favours objective features of job quality
– Ensures better comparability of outcomes across countries and
time
Principles for the
measurement of job quality
9. 9
• Life satisfaction increases with the level of earnings
– Holds both across countries as well as between persons within
countries
• For a given level of average earnings, overall well-being
tends to be higher the more equal its distribution
– Life satisfaction rises at a decreasing rate with earnings
(“saturation effect”)
– People tend to display an intrinsic dislike of high inequality in
society (“inequality aversion”)
Earnings and subjective well-being
10. 10
• At the individual level
– Gross versus net: use gross earnings because of data constraints,
net earnings more relevant for well-being
– Frequency: hourly wage not affected by working time (job
quantity )
• At the aggregate level
– Make use of general means framework (Atkinson, 1970)
– Allows giving more weight to the bottom of the distribution,
thereby taking account of both the level and its distribution
– Assume “moderate” degree of inequality aversion (weight of 2/3
on 1st tercile, ¼ on 2nd tercile and remainder on 3rd decile)

2.2 Labour market security
13. 13
Measuring labour market security:
Unemployment risk and insurance
• Existing frameworks typically focus on job security using indirect
proxies such as incidence of temporary or short-tenured workers
• Definition of labour market security effectively assumes that the cost
of unemployment is limited to the associated loss of income
Unemployment risk
- probability of becoming unemployed
- expected duration of unemployment
-> measured using data on unemployment
inflows and outflows
Effective unemployment insurance
- accessibility of benefits
- their generosity and maximum duration
- the progressivity of the tax system
->use OECD benefit-recipiency database
and OECD taxes-benefits models
Expected cost of unemployment

2.3 Quality of the work environment
17. 17
• Depends on balance between job demands which impair health
and job resources which mitigate their effects
• Either use EWCS for 2010 or combine EWCS with ISSP 2005 to
expand coverage to non-European OECD countries
Measuring quality of the working environment:
Job demands, job resources and job strain
Job demands
- time pressure
- physical health risks
- (workplace intimidation)
Job resources
- work autonomy & learning
- good relationships with colleagues
- (good management practices)
Index of job strain
combination of excessive job demands & insufficient resources
that increases risk of health impairment

23. 23
• Youth and low-skilled not only tend to have relatively low employment
rates but also weak job quality outcomes
– Education is positively associated with job quality in all three dimensions.
– Age is associated with higher earnings quality and better QWE. Labour market
security is highest for prime-age workers (30-49).
– Women have lower earnings, but have otherwise similar outcomes to men.
• Non-standard work tends to be associated with weaker job quality
outcomes but not necessarily all
– Temporary work is not only negatively associated with earnings quality and
labour market security but also with QWE.
– Part-time work is associated with lower earnings quality (in terms of hourly
wages) and labour market security, while QWE tends to be higher.
Which workers hold quality jobs?
25. 25
• New conceptual and operational framework to measure
based on three broad and complementary dimensions
• Allows for more comprehensive assessment of labour
market performance and the role of policies and institutions
– Fuller assessment effects of policies and institutions
– Reinforce attention to certain areas in debate on labour market
performance (e.g. preventive health systems)
• Actual implementation and measurement flexible and can
be adapted to one’s preferences or the specific context
