Conas is féidir linn dul i ngleic go héifeachtach leis an gcibearbhulaíocht ag an obair?
Le deich mbliana anuas, d'athraigh teicneolaíochtaí faisnéise agus cumarsáide an bealach a n-oibríonn fostaithe agus a dhéanann cumarsáid lena chéile. Cé go bhfuil go leor buntáistí ag baint le digitiú na hoibre, tá rochtain fhorleathan ar ghléasanna digiteacha sa saol oibre tar éis talamh torthúil a sholáthar do chineálacha nua iompraíochtaí frithshóisialta a theacht chun cinn, lena n-áirítear cibearbhulaíocht san ionad oibre. San eipeasóid seo de Eurofound Talks, labhraíonn Mary McCaughey le Sara Riso, Bainisteoir Sinsearach Taighde Eurofound, faoi cad is cibearbhulaíocht ann, cé chomh forleathan is atá ceist na cibearbhulaíochta ag an obair, agus an bhfuil dóthain reachtaíochta agus rialacha san ionad oibre ann chun aghaidh a thabhairt uirthi go héifeachtach. Pléann siad an chaoi ar tháinig bulaíocht agus cibearbhulaíocht chun cinn mar shaincheisteanna suntasacha i ndíospóireachtaí beartais náisiúnta, go príomha mar fhadhbanna a théann i bhfeidhm ar dhaoine óga seachas mar fheiniméan níos ginearálta san ionad oibre agus díobhálach d'fholláine na n-oibrithe. Cibé acu ar líne nó duine le duine – is cosúil go bhfuil bulaíocht ag an obair níos forleithne ná mar a admhaítear go coitianta.

Bíonn éifeachtaí an athraithe aeráide agus beartais maidir le hathrú aeráide ag oibrithe ar go leor bealaí, go díreach agus go hindíreach, ó bheith ag obair i dteas agus ag fulaingt nochtadh níos mó do radaíocht UV, go rioscaí nua sábháilteachta agus sláinte ceirde agus an gá le hoiliúint agus athoiliúint.

Pléann siad conas, cé go bhfuil roinnt treochtaí dearfacha ann maidir le fostaíocht le blianta beaga anuas, tá saincheisteanna imní atá os comhair daoine óga san Eoraip a chaithfear a shárú – ní hamháin do na daoine óga atá i gceist, ach freisin do chobhsaíocht eacnamaíoch agus shochaíoch níos leithne.

Can Europe deliver for its children?
In this episode of Eurofound Talks Mary McCaughey speaks with Eurofound Research Manager Daniel Molinuevo about the European Child Guarantee, how bad the situation is with regard to child poverty and social exclusion in Europe, what Member States have committed to doing about it, what the implications are for workers and civil society, and what prospects there are for the future.Fighting child poverty has become a central dimension of EU social policy. One of the European Commission’s flagship social policy initiatives is the European Child Guarantee: established in 2021 by Council Recommendation, the aim of the Guarantee is to tackle child poverty by ensuring access to key services (such as healthcare) and resources (such as decent housing) for children in need – defined as children at risk of poverty or social exclusion.

Is it a right to disconnect?
In this episode of Eurofound Talks Mary McCaughey speaks with Eurofound Research Manager Tina Weber about new research on the right to disconnect, the evolution of the right to disconnect in Europe, the reasons why legislative and procedural actions are being called for, the impacts that effective right to disconnect policies can have, and what the debate indicates about the post-pandemic world of work.The COVID-19 pandemic had multiple impacts on society, but perhaps one of the most enduring in terms of the world of work has been the proliferation of telework. Around one-third of jobs in the EU are teleworkable, and an estimated 40 million people telework on a regular basis. While most workers who can telework have embraced it, there have been notable impacts on work-life balance, stress and other psychological risks. This has given rise to calls for a right to disconnect.

Tackling the gender pay and employment gaps
In this special episode of Eurofound Talks for International Women's Day 2024, Mary McCaughey speaks with Eurofound researchers Carlos Vacas and Barbara Gerstenberger about the gender pay and employment gaps in Europe.Despite gender equality being a core principle of the EU, women are less likely to be in employment than men in all EU Member States and are paid less than men in almost every Member State, with the pay gap larger in higher paying jobs. Mary, Carlos, and Barbara discuss what progress has been made on these issues in recent years, the broader consequences of gender inequalities in the world of work, and the challenges that must be addressed if Europe is to meet gender equality targets.

No one left behind? Gender segregation in the workplace sees women losing out
'Women belong in all the places where decisions are made', to borrow from the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. These decisions are made everywhere and at every level: in the home and at the workplace; in the boardroom and on the shop floor. Which is why it is of such serious concern to see the ongoing deep-rooted gender segregation across Europe, in employment, of course, but more specifically in sectors, in occupations and in roles and responsibilities. On International Women’s Day we tend to take stock of progress for women in all areas, and there had certainly been much progress in Europe in the years prior to the COVID-19 crisis. For instance, employment rates of women had increased, and yet more women than men lost their jobs at the beginning of the pandemic.

Job quality
The COVID-19 pandemic had profound implications on the labour market and job quality in Europe, with some workers, particularly those providing frontline services, continuing to work from the workplace under heavy restrictions, while others worked from home also in radically different environments from which they were accustomed. Eurofound has been closely monitoring working conditions in Europe for over 30 years via the European Working Conditions Survey; in 2021, the Agency conducted the European Working Conditions Telephone Survey (EWCTS), providing a detailed picture of the working lives of Europeans at an exceptional time. In this episode of Eurofound Talks, Eurofound Head of Unit for Working Life Barbara Gerstenberger discusses what the EWCTS reveals about job quality, the implications of poor-quality jobs on well-being and broader society, and what policymakers can do to improve the working lives of people in Europe.

Telework
Now that Europe moves beyond the COVID-19 pandemic, it is faced with a dilemma. Telework has worked well for many over the past few years, helped them reconcile work and family life, and brought greater autonomy and flexibility; but for others almost the opposite has been the case, with greater work intensification, longer working hours, and greater exposure to psychosocial risks. Is it time to get back to the office? Is telework here to stay? Is hybrid work the solution? In this episode of Eurofound Talks Oscar Vargas and Mary McCaughey use results from the Living, working and COVID-19 online surveys, the European Working Conditions Telephone Survey, and other analyses from Eurofound to investigate what the future holds for telework in Europe, whether the mass rollout of telework has been to the benefit of workers and businesses, and whether the teleworkability of jobs will become the key issue on the labour market in years to come.

The worst of the COVID-19 pandemic may have passed, but in households across Europe its effects linger longer. Add today’s cost of living crisis, rising inflation and the war in Ukraine to the detrimental impacts of COVID-19 and a distressing picture emerges: of mental health issues – especially among young people – of job loss and job insecurity, and of persistent uncertainty about the future. In this episode of Eurofound Talks, we speak with Daphne Ahrendt, expert on Eurofound’s unique Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey, on these very issues.
