Small business job creation: employer and employee perspectives of job quality

由于就业增长呈下降趋势，小企业在政策议程上占有重要地位。最近关于增加小企业就业的建议突出了就业数量和质量的重要性。这个项目将从雇主和雇员的角度调查什么是高质量的小企业工作。这项研究将集中在拉特罗布山谷--一个“不太受青睐”的地区--新的小企业就业机会上。研究结果将填补在创造就业机会过程方面的知识空白，并从不同角度更好地理解就业质量的决定因素，这有助于制定经济政策。

Small business is high on the policy agenda as employment growth is trending downwards. Recent recommendations to increase small business employment highlight the importance of both quantity and job quality. This project will investigate what is a quality small business job from employer and employee perspectives. The research will focus on new small business jobs in the Latrobe Valley - a 'less favored' region. The findings will fill a significant gap in knowledge about the process of job generation and lead to a better understanding of the determinants of job quality from different perspectives, which can assist economic policy development.
