Käesolevas aruandes käsitletakse COVID-19 kriisi mõju eakate kodanike elukvaliteedile, sealhulgas mõju nende heaolule, rahaasjadele, tööhõivele ja sotsiaalsele kaasatusele. Aruandes uuritakse mõju hooldusteenuste kasutamisele ja eakate sõltumist muust toetusest. Aruandes tutvustatakse poliitikameetmeid, mida on ELi liikmesriikides rakendatud eakate toetamiseks kõigis eespool nimetatud mõõtmetes.
The first overview of minimum wage setting for 2022 shows that, while some negotiations are still ongoing, virtually all EU Member States have increased their nominal statutory rates. Compared to last year, when most countries settled for cautious increases against a background of deep uncertainty caused by the pandemic, growth in statutory rates for 2022 was stronger, reflecting an easing of the situation. This was especially the case in central and eastern European countries, where some increases were in double digits. Nevertheless, inflation is back in the picture and should be monitored in the coming months to get an insight into how the increases in nominal minimum wage rates translate into actual changes in the purchasing power of minimum wage earners.
This programming document describes Eurofound’s planned work over the programming period 2021–2024. It sets out the policy and institutional context for the programme, outlines the multiannual programme for the four-year period and sets out the work programme for 2022. Eurofound’s priorities for 2021–2024 are shaped by the key challenges for social cohesion and just transitions in a changing environment in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. The Agency focuses on issues where it can draw on its core expertise in the areas of working conditions, industrial relations, employment and living conditions, to support its stakeholders, by providing evidence that can assist their policy action.
The European Union Agencies Network on Scientific Advice (EU-ANSA) consists of technical and regulatory agencies that provide scientific advice to EU policymakers. This report demonstrates how EU-ANSA member Agencies are addressing the socioeconomic effects of sustainable development. It is based on two surveys conducted among the member Agencies. The survey results show that the most researched areas include the economy, employment, skills and training, gender inequalities, health and safety, social aspects, the role of regulation and social dialogue.
Ülespoole suunatud lähenemine on ELi projekti keskmes. Liikmesriigid ja nende kodanikud nõustuvad liiduga ühinema, kuna eeldavad, et liikmelisusega kaasneb tasakaalustatud majanduslik jõukus ning sotsiaalne progress kõigis riikides. Liikmesriikide vaheliste erinevuste suurenemist, nagu toimus 2008.–2013. aasta majanduskriisi ajal, võib käsitada ELi lubaduse reetmisena ning võimaliku rahulolematuse ja hajumise alusena. Käesolev juhtaruanne on kokkuvõte Eurofoundi 2017. aastal algatatud seireuuringust, mis käsitles lähenemist ELis.
Tehnika muutumine kiireneb, sest elektroonikaseadmed suudavad talletada, töödelda ja edastada üha rohkem teavet. Digitaliseerimine on muutmas ELi majandust ja tööturgu: peaaegu kolmandik ELi töökohtadest on liigitatud väga digitaliseeritud töökohtadeks. Mis on digitaalse revolutsiooni tagajärjed tööhõivele ja tööle? Ja kuidas võib see mõjutada sotsiaalset dialoogi?
Viimase poole sajandi üks silmatorkavamaid arenguid on olnud naiste tööturul osalemise tohutu kasv. Viimase kahe aastakümne jooksul ELis loodud kolmest uuest töökohast kaks said endale naised. Samal ajal on elanikkonna vananemisest ja poliitilistest muudatustest tingitud järsult kasvav tööhõive määr vanemate töötajate hulgas suurendanud vanemate töötajate osakaalu tööturul. Käesolevas aruandes uuritakse tööjõupakkumise muutuvate kontuurijoonte mõju tööhõivestruktuurile viimase veerandsajandi jooksul Euroopas (1995–2019).
Despite the increasing participation of women in the labour market and a higher share of women than men being hired into well-paid jobs in recent years, a gender pay gap exists across all EU Member States. Pay differentials between women and men have been shown to be significantly influenced by the economic sector where people work and the occupation they hold.
Digital transformation is changing the world of work. This report looks at how social partners – the actors involved in the regulation of employment relationships – are increasingly adopting technological solutions to improve the services that they provide to their members and facilitate collective bargaining processes. Technological tools offer social partners the opportunity to enhance consultation, engage with their members through digitised processes, improve services and increase networking activities, as well as addressing the issue of membership decline.
Käesoleva aruande eesmärk on toetada Euroopa ettevõtteid COVID-19 pandeemiaga seotud probleemide lahendamisel. Tähelepanu keskmes on töökoha tavad ja omadused, mis on aidanud ettevõtetel kogu ELis arendada tegevuskerksust, säilitades samas töötajate ja klientide ohutuse.
Eurofound’s work on COVID-19 examines the far-reaching socioeconomic implications of the pandemic across Europe as they continue to impact living and working conditions. A key element of the research is the e-survey, launched in April 2020, with five rounds completed at different stages during 2020, 2021 and 2022. This is complemented by the inclusion of research into the ongoing effects of the pandemic in much of Eurofound’s other areas of work.
Eurofound's representativeness studies are designed to allow the European Commission to identify the ‘management and labour’ whom it must consult under article 154 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). This series consists of studies of the representativeness of employer and worker organisations in various sectors.
This series reports on developments in minimum wage rates across the EU, including how they are set and how they have developed over time in nominal and real terms. The series explores where there are statutory minimum wages or collectively agreed minimum wages in the Member States, as well as minimum wage coverage rates by gender.
The European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) launched in 1990 and is carried out every five years, with the latest edition in 2015.

Eurofound’s Flagship report series 'Challenges and prospects in the EU' comprise research reports that contain the key results of multiannual research activities and incorporate findings from different related research projects. Flagship reports are the major output of each of Eurofound’s strategic areas of intervention and have as their objective to contribute to current policy debates.
Eurofound’s European Company Survey (ECS) maps and analyses company policies and practices which can have an impact on smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, as well as the development of social dialogue in companies. This series consists of outputs from the ECS 2019, the fourth edition of the survey. The survey was first carried out in 2004–2005 as the European Survey on Working Time and Work-Life Balance.

The European Company Survey (ECS) is carried out every four to five years since its inception in 2004–2005, with the latest edition in 2019. The survey is designed to provide information on workplace practices to develop and evaluate socioeconomic policy in the EU.

Adequate, affordable housing has become a matter of great concern, with an alarming number of Europeans with low or lower household incomes unable to access any, especially in capital cities. Housing was a key factor in people’s experience of the COVID-19 pandemic: its quality and level of safety significantly affected how lockdowns and social distancing measures were experienced, with those who had no access to quality housing at higher risk of deteriorating living conditions and well-being.
The use of artificial intelligence, advanced robotics and the Internet of Things technologies in the workplace can bring about fundamental changes in work organisation and working conditions. This report analyses the ethical and human implications of the use of these technologies at work by drawing on qualitative interviews with policy stakeholders, input from the Network of Eurofound Correspondents and Delphi expert surveys, and case studies.
