Zpráva zkoumá, jak se během pandemie covidu-19 v letech 2020 a 2021 vyvíjela důvěra občanů v instituce – včetně vnitrostátních vlád, EU, vědeckých institucí a sdělovacích prostředků. Analyzuje úlohu sdělovacích prostředků, zejména souvislost mezi používáním sociálních sítí a důvěrou a dopad neúmyslně nesprávných informací (nepravdivých nebo zavádějících ) a dezinformací (úmyslně klamavých informací) během krize.
Kvalita institucí je klíčovým faktorem pro dosažení vzestupné hospodářské a sociální konvergence v EU, neboť hraje zásadní úlohu při růstu hospodářství, získávání zahraničních investic, zajišťování provádění politik a reforem a při úspěšném přístupu k finančním prostředkům EU. Vhodnost veřejných institucí pro daný účel je v současné době při provádění programu NextGenerationEU obzvláště důležitá, neboť nízká kvalita institucí by mohla bránit přístupu k finančním prostředkům a ohrozit účinnost samotného programu.
The EU Presidency of Czechia organised a high-level conference in October 2022 on ‘Tackling energy poverty: EU approach & sharing best practices’. The event aimed to bring different actors together in order to strengthen the dialogue on possible solutions on how to further tackle energy poverty in the EU. This background paper, prepared at the request of the Czech Presidency, aims to contribute to the debate.
This working paper investigates the practical implementation of the European Works Council (EWC) Directive at company level. It explores the challenges faced by existing EWCs and provides examples of solutions identified and remaining issues from the point of view of both workers and management. In addition, the paper looks at how EWCs meet the requirements of the EWC Directive in terms of establishing processes of information and consultation.
Evropské trhy práce se z pandemie covidu-19 velmi dobře zotavily. Na konci roku 2021, více než 18 měsíců po začátku pandemie, byla míra zaměstnanosti v EU na téměř stejné úrovni jako před krizí. Tato zpráva shrnuje vývoj na trhu práce v letech 2020 a 2021 pomocí čtvrtletních údajů získaných ze šetření pracovních sil v EU. Činí tak ze strukturálního hlediska se zaměřením na údaje na úrovni odvětví a povolání a na klíčové demografické proměnné: gender a věk. I když se míra zaměstnanosti v členských státech EU vrátí na úroveň před krizí, struktura zaměstnanosti se výrazně změní.

Analyzuje rovněž různé politické reakce vlád jednotlivých členských států v celé EU s cílem řešit genderové rozdíly a zabránit jejich prohlubování během pandemie.

The platform economy is one of those moving targets, which, despite receiving increasing media and policy attention, has proven difficult to regulate. Given the heterogeneity of employment relationships, business models, types of platform work and cross-border issues, this is not surprising. Yet, in recent years, an increasing number of initiatives and court rulings across EU Member States have sought to address the employment rights and working conditions of platform workers.
