The European Working Conditions Surveys (EWCS) provide social policy makers valuable and unique comparative information about working conditions, including issues such as working time, exposure to risks at work, health and safety at work, work organisation, work-life balance, training, and overall job satisfaction. More information on the surveys at  [http://www.eurofound.europa.eu/ewco/surveys/index.htm](/search/node/ewco OR surveys OR index?oldIndex).

The first findings of the Fifth European Working Conditions Survey will provide critical and timely research findings and analysis from face-to-face interviews with 43,000 workers in 34 European countries, in an effort to track the current state of working conditions in Europe and highlight the quality of work and employment, and monitor changing trends since 1991.
