Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted, their role and effective participation in the European sectoral social dialogue and their capacity to negotiate agreements.

Die COVID-19-Pandemie führte 2020 zur Einstellung bzw. Einschränkung vieler Wirtschaftstätigkeiten, mit weitreichenden Folgen für den Arbeitsmarkt. Die Arbeitsplatzverluste zu Beginn der Pandemie waren schlimmer als diejenigen während der weltweiten Finanzkrise. Bei den geleisteten Arbeitsstunden waren aufgrund der staatlich geförderten Freistellungen im großen Maßstab sogar noch höhere Einbußen zu verzeichnen.
The most relevant changes in working time regulation in Europe in 2019 and 2020 addressed challenges arising as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Most focused on short-time working schemes, on approaches to teleworking for those able to work from home and on regulations to ensure the safe provision of essential services. In 2020, the average collectively agreed working week in the EU stood at 37.8 hours. Across the sectors analysed in the report, the collectively agreed normal working week was shortest in public administration (38 hours) and longest in transport (39.2 hours).

Aufgrund der Auswirkungen von COVID-19 ist das Thema öffentliche Gesundheit auf der sozialpolitischen Agenda der EU nach oben gerückt. Da die EU ihre Anstrengungen auf den Aufbau einer Europäischen Gesundheitsunion ausrichtet, um sich für künftige Gesundheitskrisen zu wappnen, wird in diesem Kurzbericht untersucht, inwieweit die EU vor der Pandemie eine Aufwärtskonvergenz im Hinblick auf den Gesundheitszustand und die Ergebnisse der Gesundheitsversorgung sowie Gesundheitsausgaben und die Erbringung von Gesundheitsdienstleistungen erzielt hat.
Seit über zehn Jahren nimmt die Ungewissheit über die Zukunft in weiten Teilen der EU zu. Viele glauben, dass sich die Gesellschaft im Niedergang befindet, mit der Folge, dass allgemein Pessimismus um sich greift. Besteht ein Zusammenhang zwischen der steigenden Popularität von Parteien, die gegen das Establishment gerichtet sind, und dem zunehmenden Pessimismus? Diese negativen Gefühle könnten das politische Klima in einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten beeinträchtigen und auch die Legitimität des europäischen Aufbauwerks untergraben.
Dank digitaler Technologien ist es für viele Beschäftigte möglich geworden, jederzeit und von überall aus zu arbeiten, mit allen damit verbundenen Vor- und Nachteilen. Die Daten von Eurofound machen deutlich, dass Telearbeitnehmer mit doppelt so hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit die Höchstarbeitszeit von 48 Stunden überschreiten, unzureichende Ruhepausen einlegen und in ihrer Freizeit arbeiten, mit negativen Folgewirkungen für ihre physische und psychische Gesundheit. Zur Bewältigung dieses Problems wurden Rufe nach dem „Recht auf Nichterreichbarkeit“ laut.
