Value of work: The transition to sustainable work in a sustainable economy
The Value of Work project, which has been implemented since 2016 with the support of the Goldschmeding Foundation, aims to provide new knowledge into the value of work among the Dutch population. An important part of this project is the Value of Work Monitor – a large-scale, national survey study into the value of work in the Netherlands.The main goal of the fourth edition (2023-2024) is to gain more insight into the conditions under which workers can perform sustainable and valuable work and contribute to the transition to a sustainable economy. Attention is also paid to the inclusive nature of sustainable and valuable work. The project aims to provide important societal stakeholders with tools for a more substantiated policy and to inform the broader public about important trends surrounding the value of work.
More information about the project can be found on the project’s website: www.valueofwork.eu
