Aruanne tutvustab Eurofoundi uuringut kaugtöö kohta COVID-19 pandeemia ajal 2020. ja 2021. aastal. Selles uuritakse kaugtöö sageduse muutusi, kodunt töötamise tingimusi ja kaugtöö eeskirjade muutumist. Selgus, et pandeemia tõttu sagenes kaugtöö järsult: 2021. aastal kaugtöötas kaks kümnendikku Euroopa töötajatest – ilma pandeemiata oleks see näitaja saavutatud kõige varem 2027. aastal. Tervisekriis vallandas sotsiaalse ja tehnoloogilise paindlikkuse potentsiaali seoses tööaja ning töötamiskohaga.
Eurofoundi poolt 2020. aasta alguses algatatud uuringu „Elamine, töötamine ja COVID-19“ eesmärk on kajastada pandeemia ulatuslikku mõju ELi kodanike tööle ja elule. Eurofoundi uuringu viies voor, mis viidi läbi kevadel 2022, käsitleb ka uut ebakindlat tegelikkust, mille on põhjustanud sõda Ukrainas, rekordiline inflatsioon ja elukalliduse järsk tõus. Katseuuringuna koostas Euroopa Koolitusfond (ETF) 10 Euroopa Liidu naaberriigis küsimustiku lühiversiooni.
Eurofound’s European Restructuring Monitor database reveals the impact of the energy crisis on employment in the EU. Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, energy prices have hit record highs. The European Commission imposed sanctions and limitations on the import of oil and gas from Russia, which has reacted by reneging on supply commitments to many Member States. Compared to other countries, market disruption has been especially acute in the EU, given the bloc’s overdependence on Russian energy supply.
This study provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the actors involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for the electricity sector. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted, their role and effective participation in the European sectoral social dialogue and their capacity to negotiate agreements.
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.
This study provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the actors involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for the Food and drink sector. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted, their role and effective participation in the European sectoral social dialogue and their capacity to negotiate agreements. The aim of Eurofound’s studies on representativeness is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations in the field of industrial relations in the EU Member States.
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.
This series reports on the new forms of employment emerging across Europe that are driven by societal, economic and technological developments and are different from traditional standard or non-standard employment in a number of ways. This series explores what characterises these new employment forms and what implications they have for working conditions and the labour market.
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 COVID-19 pandemic triggered an extraordinary level of provision of social services across the EU. Healthcare and care providers carried much of the burden and, together with essential services, played a crucial role in getting citizens through the crisis. This report explores how public services adapted to the new reality and what role was played by the digital transformation of services. The aim is to contribute to the documentation and analysis of changes in funding, delivery and use of healthcare and social services during the pandemic.
Are the policies required to meet the commitments outlined under the EU’s plan for a green transition, the Fit-for-55 package, and the associated budgetary commitments – the Green New Deal – likely to lead to positive or negative employment outcomes by 2030? What types of jobs will be created or destroyed? Will shifts in employment be skewed towards the bottom, middle or top of the job–wage distribution? This report aims to provide answers to these questions, using macro-modelled estimates of the likely impacts of these policies on the structure of employment.
This report explores the potential socio-economic implications of the transition to a climate-neutral economy on different EU regions and groups of people. It adopts a foresight approach to envision potential actions that can be taken to shape the future. After consulting with stakeholders and experts, three scenarios were developed to consider emerging economic and social inequalities at EU and regional level. The report includes policy pointers which outline measures to be taken to achieve a just transition to a sustainable, climate-neutral economy where no one is left behind.
This report explores how environmental performance has converged – or diverged – among the EU Member States since the early 2000s. With environmental goals piling up at the EU level, is it reasonable to expect Member States to adhere to this emerging EU environmental aquis? And, just as importantly, can we expect Member States to reach these goals at the same time? This report attempts to provide answers to these and other questions high on the political agenda.
This report investigates the potential individual and societal impacts of labour market insecurity, focusing on workers with non-permanent contracts, part-time and self-employed workers, and workers who perceive their job as insecure. It explores the impact of labour market insecurities on health and well-being, social exclusion, trust in people and the perception of fairness, as well as trust in institutions. Policies aimed at reducing labour market instability following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic are also presented.
This report – published every two years – covers important developments resulting from legislative reforms in collective bargaining at national or sectoral level in 2021 and 2022. It examines the average weekly working hours set by collective agreements, both across national economies and in five sectors: education, health, transport, retail and public administration.
This policy brief provides facts and figures on the working life and job quality of so-called ‘essential workers’ and is based on data from the European Working Conditions Telephone Survey (EWCTS) extraordinary edition 2021. It will define various subgroups of essential workers, describe the challenges they face and outline the type of responses provided, or being developed, to address those challenges.
This policy brief aims to contribute to the effective monitoring and evaluation of the European Child Guarantee. Progress at EU level is measured by a monitoring framework which monitors the key areas of the European Child Guarantee: early childhood education and care; education, including school-based activities and at least one healthy meal each school day; healthcare; healthy nutrition; and adequate housing. The policy brief explores trends and disparities in these areas using a convergence analysis, which tracks any disparities among EU Member States.
This report highlights the prevalence of psychosocial risks across countries, sectors and occupations during the later phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines the specific working conditions that can lead to work-related health problems. In particular, the report investigates the potential pitfalls related to the expansion of telework, the role of job and income insecurity as a psychosocial risk and the phenomenon of adverse social behaviour and discrimination at work. In addition, it offers policy pointers on tackling the increase in work absenteeism due to mental health problems.
The urban-rural divide in EU countries has grown in recent years, and the depopulation of certain rural areas in favour of cities is a challenge when it comes to promoting economic development and maintaining social cohesion and convergence. Using data from Eurofound and Eurostat, this report will investigate the trends and drivers of the urban-rural divide, in various dimensions: economic and employment opportunities, access to services, living conditions and quality of life.
