Abstract
Issues related to job quality are increasingly taking centre stage in professional
and scientific circles because of the stakes involved. The objective of this
research is to identify the characteristics of workers that allow them to benefit
from aspects of quality of employment. This study uses two models: Ordinary
Least Squares (OLS) and ordered probit. Before using these models, the author
estimates a bivariate selection probit with experimentation. The dependent
variable is constructed using Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and
Hierarchical Ascending Classification (HAC). The results make it possible to determine the profile of individual beneficiaries. The study shows that a worker with
university education, who is familiar with the collective agreement of the companies
and who has not experienced a long period of unemployment is more likely to benefit
from a good level of quality employment than someone else. The data used are from
the 2012 Household Employment Survey conducted by the Agency for Employment
Studies and Promotion (AGEPE).
