Text
I do not have an assessment of the proportion of good jobs, but, as I said, we set four priorities across the Department on productivity and promoting good jobs that all of its agencies have also undertaken and that are now part of the draft Programme for Government, which, hopefully, will be finalised in the near future. We have brought in outside advisers to assist us in that regard, and we have brought together a number of organisations regularly to provide advice and guidance. It is not simply about the salary involved; it is about representation in the workforce and flexibility and value in your work. There are a range of factors that go into that. There is the Carnegie definition, and work continues on trying to achieve the outcomes that that envisages in terms of good jobs. That will take time and effort, but it is a priority for the Department, so we will continue to focus on it.
