Event background
Eurofound has organised its Annual Lecture Living, working and voting in Europe 2024 on 7 May in Dublin with guest speaker, political analyst Ivan Krastev, Chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies. This lunchtime event was hosted by Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD, Minister of State with responsibility for EU Affairs & Defence and Ivailo Kalfin, Executive Director of Eurofound, to mark Europe Day 2024.
As Europeans prepare to go to the polls in June, Mr Krastev reflected on the challenges and opportunities the EU is currently facing against the background of today’s complex geopolitical environment. He also considered what the upcoming election results may mean for citizens living and working in Europe. A Q&A video and an interview with Mr Krastev are available below.
Opened by Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD with an introduction by Ivailo Kalfin, the lecture event also provided an opportunity for the audience to participate in a short, question and answer session with Mr Krastev, moderated by Mary McCaughey, Head of Information and Communication.

Living and working in Europe 2023
The post-pandemic recovery of Europe continued in 2023, with strong job creation despite subdued economic growth, against a background of rising geopolitical tension. Eurofound’s research over the year brought to light evidence on the key issues shaping the daily lives and work of Europeans. This 2023 yearbook provides a snapshot of that work, summarising the Agency’s findings on a wide range of topics, including rising labour shortages and initiatives to address them, the impact of workplace stressors on health and well-being, the challenges of securing affordable housing, and developments in minimum wages across the Member States. Eurofound’s research on working and living conditions in Europe provides a bedrock of evidence for social policymaking and achieving the Agency’s vision ‘to be Europe’s leading knowledge source for better life and work’.
