The Institute for Employment Studies Quality of Work Survey is live and is open to young people aged 16-25. The survey asks for young people’s views about the quality of opportunities available to them, including how they define and value ‘quality’ in work, their experience(s) of work to date, and impacts of the quality of work on their health and wellbeing.
