Aruandes analüüsitakse sotsiaaldialoogi ja kollektiivläbirääkimiste rolli tsiviillennundussektori probleemide lahendamisel COVID-19 pandeemia ajal. Sotsiaalpartnerite osalemine pandeemia negatiivse mõju leevendamiseks võetud meetmetes oli Euroopa riikides erinev. Sotsiaaldialoogil ja kollektiivläbirääkimistel oli enamikus riikides oluline roll, kuigi mõnes oli neil piiratum roll. Aruandes uuritakse ka olemasolevatesse sotsiaaldialoogi ja/või kollektiivläbirääkimiste protsessidesse riiklikul tasandil tehtud kohandusi.
Aruandes analüüsitakse sotsiaaldialoogi ja kollektiivläbirääkimiste rolli COVID-19 pandeemia põhjustatud või süvendatud probleemide lahendamisel haiglasektoris. Samuti uuritakse, kas olemasolevaid sotsiaaldialoogi ja kollektiivläbirääkimiste protsesse riiklikul tasandil kohandati, et neid uusi probleeme lahendada. Uuring hõlmas kirjandusülevaadet haiglasektori struktuurilise eripära kontekstualiseerimiseks ning ELi 27 liikmesriigis ja Norras kriisi ohjamiseks tehtud poliitiliste algatuste analüüsi.
Aruanne koostatakse kolmeaastase katseprojekti (2021–2023) „Miinimumpalga roll üldise töögarantii kehtestamisel“ raames, mille Euroopa Komisjon on delegeerinud Eurofoundile. See keskendub projekti 3. moodulile, milles uuritakse miinimumpalka ja füüsilisest isikust ettevõtjate muid palgavorme. Teatud füüsilisest isikust ettevõtjate rühmade keerukate tingimuste tõttu on osa liikmesriike kehtestanud või kavatsevad kehtestada füüsilisest isikust ettevõtjate valitud kategooriatele seadusliku miinimumpalga mõne vormi.
Ranged rahvatervise piirangud, mida valitsused rakendasid 2020. aastal, et ohjeldada COVID-19 pandeemiat, muutsid järsult tööelu ja jätkasid selle kujundamist järgnenud kahe aasta jooksul. 2021. aasta märtsist novembrini peeti 36 riigis üle 70 000 vestluse Euroopa töötingimuste telefoniküsitluse (EWCTS) raames, mis oli kvaliteetne tõenäosuspõhine uuring. Eesmärk oli anda üksikasjalik ülevaade eurooplaste tööelust sellel erakordsel ajal.

Aruandes uuritakse, kuidas arenes kodanike usaldus institutsioonide, sh riikide valitsuste, ELi, teaduse ja meedia vastu COVID-19 pandeemia ajal 2020. ja 2021. aastal. Analüüsitakse meedia rolli, eelkõige seost sotsiaalmeedia kasutamise ja usalduse ning väärinfo (ebaõige või eksitav teave) ja desinformatsiooni (tahtlikult petlik teave) mõju vahel kriisiperioodil. Tuginedes põhjalikule kirjanduse ülevaatele, kirjeldatakse aruandes COVID-19 poliitikameetmete tagajärgi, keskendudes kodanike usaldusele oma riigiasutuste ja ELi vastu.
Institutsioonide kvaliteet on üks põhitegureid ülespoole suunatud majandusliku ja sotsiaalse lähenemise saavutamisel ELis – sellel on väga suur roll majanduskasvus, välisinvesteeringute saamisel, poliitika ja reformide elluviimise tagamises ning edukas juurdepääsus ELi rahalistele vahenditele. Avaliku sektori asutuste eesmärgipärasus on praegu eriti oluline programmi „NextGenerationEU“ rakendamisel, sest halb institutsiooniline kvaliteet võib takistada juurdepääsu rahalistele vahenditele ja kahjustada programmi enda tõhusust.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence, are rapidly evolving, and becoming increasingly powerful and pervasive. While the implications of digital technologies on ethics and working conditions should be explored as they emerge, it is also important to anticipate any unintended effects that raise new ethical challenges.

It expands on the four key indicators identified in Eurofound’s 2016 study: industry democracy, industrial competitiveness, job and employment equality, and social justice. With a key focus on industrial democracy, the report provides an in-depth analysis of divergence and convergence patterns across countries. The analysis also includes the development of a composite indicator and an integrated indicator for all four industrial relations dimensions.
