Analysing the various approaches adopted in working conditions surveys around the world, the Foundation’s new comparative report Working conditions surveys: a comparative analysis covers a total of 51 surveys. The report examines a small number of these in terms of their focus on working conditions, multi-sectoral approach, and frequency.
'Over the past four years, the Foundation’s working conditions surveys have been among the most popular documents downloaded from the Eurofound website. There are a number of reasons for this, not least the current policy focus across Europe and sound research and analysis by the working conditions team. The approach and methods used in the Foundation’s working conditions survey are currently emulated by government agencies in Italy and Spain, and as far afield as Australia, Canada, and USA, as well as by the International Labour Organisation (ILO).
