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.

Ülekuumenenud ja ettevalmistamata — eurooplaste kogemus kliimamuutustega toimetulekust

Euroopa Keskkonnaagentuuri (EEA) ja Eurofoundi ühine aruanne uurib eurooplaste kogemusi kliimaga seotud mõjude osas, muret tulevaste mõjude pärast ning majapidamiste ja kohalike omavalitsuste vastupanuvõime meetmeid. See tugineb 2025. aasta Eurofound Living and Working in the EU e-uuringu andmetele ning toob esile, kuidas kliimakindlus erineb piirkondade ja demograafiliste gruppide lõikes, sealhulgas eriti haavatavates populatsioonides. Oluline on, et aruanne annab esimese Euroopa-ülese ülevaate rakendatud kliimakindluse meetmetest – nii majapidamiste kui ka kohalike omavalitsuste tasandil.

Uneven picture of a changing Europe: Findings from Living and Working in the EU e-survey 2025

Findings from the 2025 (eighth) round of Eurofound’s Living and working in the EU e-survey suggest persistent economic strain and uneven levels of resilience across Member States. Despite lower inflation and labour markets that remain relatively stable by headline indicators, respondents continue to face significant financial pressure, with widening gaps between income groups, rising insecurity among renters and middle-aged people, and continued housing insecurity, especially among low-income and single-parent households.
