This report contains the results of the post test of the 6th EWCS, carried out by GESIS - Leibniz Institute for the Social Sciences (Germany). The aim is to deliver insights for the interpretation of the re-sults of the 6th EWCS, and to deliver input for the development and revision of the 7th EWCS.

Secondly, it examines potential measurement issues related to the concept of employment and the main paid job criterion for workers in atypical working situations.
