RT journal article T1 The Impact of Employment Quality and Housing Quality on Human Development in the European Union A1 Checa Olivas, Marina A1 de la Hoz-Rosales, Bladimir A1 Cano-Guervos, Rafael A2 Economía Financiera y Contabilidad K1 human development K1 human capabilities approach K1 involuntary part-time work K1 overcrowding rate AB This study aims to contribute new information on how and through which factors employment quality and housing quality can be improved from a human development approach so that people can live the life they want. Using the human capabilities approach as a theoretical reference framework, the article analyses the effect of involuntary part-time employment and overcrowded housing on the Human Development Index (HDI). The empirical analysis is based on the panel data technique, which is applied to data from the European Statistical Office (Eurostat) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for the 28 member countries of the European Union. The results shed new evidence on how involuntary part-time work and overcrowded housing limit or hinder people from living the lives they want, at least in the dimensions measured by the HDI.
