About the survey

The fifth edition of the EWCS covered issues related to:

  • precarious employment
  • leadership styles
  • worker participation
  • general job context
  • working time
  • work organisation
  • pay
  • work-related health risks
  • cognitive and psychosocial factors
  • work–life balance
  • access to training

Background and methodology

A number of questions were included in the questionnaire to capture the impact of the economic downturn on working conditions.

Almost 44,000 workers were interviewed, covering 34 countries – EU27, Norway, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Turkey, Albania, Montenegro and Kosovo – making this survey edition the most comprehensive one so far, in terms of geographical coverage.

The fifth EWCS was implemented by Gallup Europe, who worked within a strong quality assurance framework, to ensure the highest possible standards in all data collection and editing processes.
