High-quality work is central for a productive and thriving society. Ensuring a sufficient quality of work – as a policy issue – as opposed the government’s conventional responsibility of ensuring a sufficient quantity of work – reached its zenith in the UK in July 2017 when the government published a review to scope out a new national job quality strategy. The publica-tion, Good Work: The Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices, which has come to be known simply as the Taylor Review after its author Matthew Taylor, marked a turning point in UK industrial policy. It recommended the government’s new ‘Good Work’ strategy should be more than ensuring that ‘all work should be fair and decent’ (that is, it pays / is stable enough to live) but that it also offers ‘realistic scope for development and fulfilment’.
