Annual review of working conditions in the EU 2009-2010

Quality of work and employment is a priority in the European Union. The annual review of working conditions in the EU 2009-2010 focuses on four critical dimensions: career development and employment security, health and wellbeing, skills and competence development, and work–life balance. It outlines relevant legislative and policy developments, and examines trends in the workplace during the period 2009–2010 by exploring five key themes – labour market policies and demographic changes, social protection, flexicurity and corporate social responsibility, working conditions and equal opportunities.
