Abstract:

The author reports on the development of People's Security Surveys, which are designed to track the seven forms of work-related security comprising decent work, to highlight people's aspirations and sense of social justice, and to measure the impact of policies and institutions thereon. After outlining the main aspects of this instrument (which relate to objective, attitudinal, and moral and institutional criteria), using the findings of the Indonesian PSS for illustration, he then describes the initial attempts to create indexes of security of income, skills reproduction, job, work, employment and voice representation, which are combined into a micro-level Decent Work Index.
