abstract: 'Measuring social sustainability performance involves assessing firms''
implementation of social goals, including working conditions, health and
safety, employee relationships, diversity, human rights, community
engagement, and philanthropy. The concept of social sustainability is
closely linked to the notion of decent work, which emphasizes productive
work opportunities with fair income, secure workplaces, personal
development prospects, freedom of expression and association, and equal
treatment for both genders. However, the tourism sector, known for its
significant share of informal labor-intensive work, faces challenges
that hinder the achievement of decent work, such as extended working
hours, low wages, limited social protection, and gender discrimination.
This study assesses the social sustainability of the Portuguese tourism
industry. The study collected data from the ``Quadros do Pessoal{''''}
statistical tables for the years 2010 to 2020 to analyze the performance
of Portuguese firms in the tourism sector and compare them with one
another and with the overall national performance. The study focused on
indicators such as employment, wages, and work accidents. The findings
reveal fluctuations in employment and remuneration within the tourism
sector and high growth rates in the tourism sector compared to the
national average. A persistent gender pay gap is identified, which
emphasizes the need to address this issue within the tourism industry.
Despite some limitations, such as the lack of comparable data on work
quality globally, incomplete coverage of sustainability issues, and
challenges in defining and measuring social sustainability indicators,
the findings have implications for policy interventions to enhance
social sustainability in the tourism industry. By prioritizing decent
work, safe working conditions, and equitable pay practices, stakeholders
can promote social sustainability, stakeholder relationships, and
sustainable competitive advantage. Policymakers are urged to support
these principles to ensure the long-term sustainability of the tourism
industry and foster a more inclusive and equitable society. This study
provides insights for Tourism Management, sustainable Human Resource
Management, Development Studies, and organizational research, guiding
industry stakeholders in promoting corporate social sustainability, firm
survival, and economic growth.'
