Changes over time – First findings from the fifth European Working Conditions Survey (résumé)

Examining how working conditions have changed (or remained the same) can shed light on what progress is being made towards European policy goals. It can also indicate how drivers of change such as globalisation, technological development, more flexible forms of work organisation, the ageing of Europe’s population, and the rise in the number of households with two earners have impacted on how people are working and being employed. These first findings from Eurofound’s fifth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) present an initial overview of some key changes in working conditions over time.
