Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to analyze the changes that have occurred in the quality of work and employment in Romania starting with 2000. The analysis is focused on Romania, but comparisons with other EU member states are also made in order to identify certain disparities between East and West. The assessment of quality of work and employment considers both jobs characteristics and aspects of the wider work environment regarding how the labour market works as a whole. Data sources used to describe the various aspects of quality of work and employment are European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) and European Working Conditions Observatory (EWCO). Data was extracted from Eurofound database. Working time is an indicator of quality of work that creates important differences between the countries located in South-eastern Europe and those located in Western and Northern Europe.
