In dem Bericht wird untersucht, wie sich das Vertrauen der Bürgerinnen und Bürger in die gesellschaftlichen Institutionen, wie etwa die Regierung, die EU, die Wissenschaft und die Medien, im Laufe der COVID-19-Pandemie in den Jahren 2020 und 2021 entwickelt hat. Auch die Rolle der Medien wird analysiert, insbesondere der Zusammenhang zwischen dem Konsum sozialer Medien und dem gesellschaftlichen Vertrauen sowie die Auswirkungen von Falschinformationen (inkorrekte oder irreführende Informationen) und gezielter Desinformation während der COVID-19-Krise.
Die Qualität der Institutionen ist ein Schlüsselfaktor für die Erreichung einer wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Aufwärtskonvergenz in der EU, die eine grundlegende Rolle für das Wirtschaftswachstum, die Anziehung ausländischer Investitionen, die Umsetzung von Strategien und Reformen und den erfolgreichen Zugang zu EU-Finanzmitteln spielt.
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.
Die europäischen Arbeitsmärkte haben sich gut von COVID-19 erholt. Bis Ende 2021, etwas mehr als 18 Monate nach Ausbruch der Pandemie, lagen die Beschäftigungsquoten in der EU fast auf dem Vorkrisenniveau. In diesem Bericht werden die Arbeitsmarktentwicklungen in den Jahren 2020 und 2021 zusammengefasst, unter Verwendung von Quartalsdaten aus der EU-Arbeitskräfteerhebung. Dies geschieht aus struktureller Perspektive, mit Schwerpunkt auf Daten der Sektor- und Berufsebene sowie auf demografischen Schlüsselvariablen: Geschlecht und Alter.

Lower levels of health, increasing financial pressure and a significant degree of unmet healthcare: these are the findings of the fifth round of the Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey: Living in a new era of uncertainty – a report that presents an overview of responses from over 200,000 people across all five rounds of the e-survey, which took place from spring 2020 to spring 2022.
In this data story, we use the e-survey data to take a closer look at the impact of the pandemic on mental health.
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.
Das Privatkundengeschäft eignet sich sehr gut für eine Untersuchung der Auswirkungen der Digitalisierung auf Arbeit und Beschäftigung. Finanzdienstleistungen werden zunehmend online ohne Beteiligung von Bankfilialen mit persönlichem Kundenkontakt erbracht. Viele im Privatkundengeschäft tätige Banken werden seit der weltweiten Finanzkrise laufend umstrukturiert, und die Branche zählt zu den wenigen Dienstleistungsbranchen mit stagnierender oder rückläufiger Beschäftigung.

The aim of this Eurofound’s study on representativeness is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations in the professional football sector in the EU Member States.
