In times of continual economic and societal change, Eurofound reacts to new and emerging information needs of policymakers. As part of Eurofound’s drive to produce more on-demand studies and services for its main stakeholder groups, reacting to ad-hoc information requests from core stakeholders is a key activity in its work programme.
This work involves the delivery of occasional papers on selected themes in a range of formats:
customised reports
studies replying to stakeholder enquiries
background papers
contributions to publications
own-initiative reports and papers
reports paid for by stakeholders
Customised reports are based either on original analysis of existing Eurofound data sources such as survey data sets, or summaries of previous Eurofound research in a given area. The most recent customised reports can be found below.
Key objectives of this service are to ensure rapidity, flexibility, quality and efficiency in delivering customised input to meet specific needs of Eurofound stakeholders and to provide evidence on unforeseen issues requiring policy action. The provision of a particular request depends on the availability of data.
Requests are welcome from social partner organisations at European and national levels, Member State governments through their Presidencies of the Council of the EU and the EU institutions. A selective approach is taken based on the relevance and policy importance of requests and the resources available.
