Despite the fact that between 2013 and 2015, the indicators showed a slight deterioration in the quality of employment, mainly those related to income and benefits from employment and working time and work-life balance, since 2011 the general indicator has remained relatively constant. When analyzing the quality of employment by subgroups of employed people, the precariousness of the situation is denoted for older adults, positions with medium and low qualifications, the self-employed and people employed in activities of households as employers, agriculture, construction, transportation and hotels and restaurants.
