It should be noted however that there are ongoing discussions, for example within the OECD, as to whether gross or net earnings are relevant for
measuring job quality, or whether earnings should be taken on an hourly or monthly basis (see chapter 3 in the 2014 OECD Employment Outlook).
Furthermore, the EMCO indicator does not consider ‘increments’ to job earnings such as health insurance, employer’s contribution to the pension scheme,
etc. which increase the socio-economic security of job holders and improve the quality of jobs.
