Chapter Chapter 9 in Well-being in Belgium, 2020, pp 63-72 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Alongside health, the employment situation can be regarded as an essential non-material dimension of well-being. Employment can contribute to social integration and the impact of involuntary unemployment on overall life satisfaction often goes far beyond what can be expected based on income loss alone. However, the description of an employment situation does not just involve the simple distinction between working and not working. The quality of the job is also of great importance for people’s well-being. We will examine these different aspects in this chapter.
