Foundational challenges: The housing struggles of Europe’s youth

Europe faces a housing affordability crisis that impacts all age groups, with particularly pronounced implications for young people. For them, the crisis may have far-reaching consequences, affecting educational and employment opportunities, household composition and formation, and current and future well-being. This report examines the housing situation of the EU population, with a specific focus on young people. It shows that, across several metrics, young people generally experience the housing crisis more acutely than older cohorts.

Beyond the twin transitions: Measuring EU Member States’ multidimensional performance with composite indicators

This research report presents a holistic, multidimensional framework for measuring the economic and social performance of EU Member States, including in terms of their EU’s green and digital twin transitions, through composite indicators. Extending the established Landesmann and Székely model, this study incorporates six key dimensions – economic, social, institutional, environmental, digital, and social cohesion and trust – into the model to capture the complex, interdependent dynamics of socioecological progress.

Equal value, equal pay: Concepts, mechanisms and implementation towards gender pay equity

This report presents an in-depth compilation of evidence and analysis on how the EU’s principle of equal pay for the same work and work of equal value can be implemented in practice, with a particular focus on work of equal value – thus, pay equity. According to this principle, when two jobs can be regarded as equivalent in terms of skills, effort, responsibilities and working conditions, they should be remunerated equally. But how can such equivalence be established?

Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted and their capacity to negotiate agreements.

Incentivise, not restrict: Climate policy views in the Living and Working in Europe e-survey

As the EU moves toward carbon neutrality, the Just Transition Mechanism seeks to ensure this process is fair. But are people on board? The e-survey findings show that several other factors beyond environmental concern are at play here, especially when policies directly affect people’s everyday lives.

Vivienda

El acceso a una vivienda asequible y adecuada es una preocupación importante en muchos Estados miembros, en sus ciudades y regiones, agravada por las crisis de los últimos años. Las personas que enfrentan problemas de asequibilidad de la vivienda corren el riesgo de exclusión, la inseguridad de tener que abandonar su hogar, no poder pagar otras cosas debido a los altos costos de la vivienda y tener que permanecer en viviendas inadecuadas para sus necesidades. Con el aumento del costo de vida viene la exposición a la pobreza energética para las familias de bajos ingresos que no pueden permitirse mantener sus hogares adecuadamente calientes o cumplir con los pagos del alquiler o la hipoteca. Al mismo tiempo, el número de personas sin hogar está aumentando en la gran mayoría de los Estados miembros.
