Decent Work Research Project Oxfam and the University of West of Scotland with support from Warwick University are seeking to contribute evidence to inform wider policy discussions around the quality of work on offer in today's labour market, and how it might be improved, ahead of the 2016 Scottish Parliament elections. We are planning a research programme around the idea of ‘decent work' – a concept which has had increasing currency in civil society discussions, and chimes with the Scottish Government's ‘fair work' agenda. The aim of the research is to establish what the public – particularly seldom heard groups and women and men with experience of low -paid, low -skill jobs – think constitutes ‘decent work' and what kinds of work and employment practices are barriers to it. This aim, which is influenced by Oxfam's Humankind Index, is being pursued through a ‘core project' using a survey, focus groups, interviews and social media engagement. Around this core project, a number of UWS academics are conducting related ‘work packages' which have a value and purpose independently of the core project, but which – it is hoped – can complement the evidence of the core project.
