Peamised tähelepanekud

  • COVID-19 kriisi esimesel aastal jätkus sissetulekute ebavõrdsuse vähenemine, mis kinnitas ebavõrdsuse vähenemist ELis. Tööotsijad ning madala ja keskmise haridustasemega inimesed kogesid aga pandeemia ajal kõige tõenäolisemalt sissetulekute vähenemist, mis rõhutab, et kuigi sissetulekute üldine ebavõrdsus COVID-19 ajal üldiselt ei suurenenud, on äärmiselt oluline, et poliitikakujundajad jälgiksid seda praeguses elukalliduse kriisis tähelepanelikult.

  • COVID-19 kriisi esimesel aastal jätkus sissetulekute ebavõrdsuse vähenemine, mis kinnitas ebavõrdsuse vähenemist ELis. Tööotsijad ning madala ja keskmise haridustasemega inimesed kogesid aga pandeemia ajal kõige tõenäolisemalt sissetulekute vähenemist, mis rõhutab, et kuigi sissetulekute üldine ebavõrdsus COVID-19 ajal üldiselt ei suurenenud, on äärmiselt oluline, et poliitikakujundajad jälgiksid seda praeguses elukalliduse kriisis tähelepanelikult.
  • Tervis ja sissetulekute ebavõrdsus on tihedalt seotud, kusjuures madalaimasse sissetulekukvintiili kuuluvatel inimestel on peaaegu kolm korda suurema tõenäosusega puue kui kõrgeimasse sissetulekukvintiili kuuluvatel inimestel. Pandeemia ajal suurenes ka ebavõrdsus juurdepääsul tervishoiuteenustele sissetuleku alusel: 2020. aastal oli madalaimasse sissetulekukvintiili kuuluvate inimeste rahuldamata meditsiinilise vajaduse risk 5,4 korda suurem kui kõrgeimas sissetulekukvintiilis, mis näitab, kuidas sissetulekute ebavõrdsuse vähendamisele keskenduv poliitika võib vähendada ka tervisealast ebavõrdsust.
  • Tulemused näitavad, et kodus töötamine pandeemia ajal võis tekitada ebavõrdsust madala ja kõrge sissetulekuga rühmade vahel, kusjuures ajutised töötajad, noored ja ebakindlas töösuhtes olevad inimesed olid kriiside suhtes haavatavamad. Et see ei jätkuks COVIDi-järgses üha paindlikumas töömaailmas, on äärmiselt oluline, et poliitikakujundajad tegeleksid ebakindla tööga ning suurendaksid töötingimuste läbipaistvust ja prognoositavust.
  • Pandeemia ajal oli veebiõppeks piisavate seadmete olemasolu olulisem kui sissetulek, mis näitab, kui oluline on võidelda digilõhe vastu ja tagada pikas perspektiivis tehnoloogia kättesaadavus kõigile. Maapiirkondades elavad lapsevanemad ja õpilased, kes ei pidanud pandeemiaperioodil pendelrändama, olid veebiõppe või -hariduse kvaliteediga suurema tõenäosusega rahul kui need, kes elavad linnades.
  • Kodus töötamise võimalus tekitas ebavõrdsust väikese ja suure sissetulekuga rühmade vahel, süvendades soolist ebavõrdsust lastehoius ja majapidamistöödes. 2020. aastal lühendasid üksikemad kõige tõenäolisemalt oma tööaega koolide ja lastehoiuasutuste sulgemise tõttu – kui naised jätkavad tasustamata hooldust rohkem tunde kui mehed, võib see pandeemiast taastumise ajal soolist palgalõhet suurendada.

COVID-19 pandeemia mõjus sotsiaalsetele rühmadele erinevalt, sõltudes olemasolevatest ebasoodsatest tingimustest, ning üldiselt arvati, et see suurendas ebavõrdsust eri eluvaldkondades. Kasutades ELi mitmemõõtmelise ebavõrdsuse järelevalveraamistiku (MIMF) näitajaid, näitab käesolev aruanne, kuidas muutus ebavõrdsus sissetulekute, tervishoiu, tööhõive ja hariduse valdkonnas aastatel 2010–2020. Samuti uuritakse pandeemia ajal toimunud muutuste peamisi ajendeid ning valitsuste poliitika ja ebavõrdsuse seoseid mitmes valdkonnas.

Uuringud, mis tehti enne Ühendkuningriigi lahkumist Euroopa Liidust 31. jaanuaril 2020 ja avaldati hiljem, võivad sisaldada andmeid 28 ELi liikmesriigi kohta. Pärast seda kuupäeva võetakse uuringutes arvesse ainult 27 ELi liikmesriiki (EL 28 miinus Ühendkuningriik), kui ei ole märgitud teisiti.

  • COVID-19

    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.
