Abstract

Since the quality of employment has become the focus of attention among labour market analysts, policy makers, the researchers from many and diverse filed of sciences, the geographers included, are interested in studying this concept. The paper aims to emphasize the contribution of the local territorial level in setting up the quality of employment in Romania. Methodological aspects are discussed with focus on construction and computation of the so-called “index of the characteristics related to the quality of employment” (ICQE) which is considered at five territorial levels (national, macro-regional, regional, county and local). The largest part of the paper presents the analysis results, basically the spatial distribution of the quality of employment patterns at different territorial levels focusing on the role held by the local territorial level in shaping the spatial features of quality of employment. The study concludes that the local territorial level revealed the very low quality of employment pattern, which is hidden at macro-regional, regional and county levels.
