Epizoda podcasta

Je li mentalno zdravlje Europe još uvijek u krizi?

Mentalno zdravlje u Europi nalazi se na kritičnom raskrižju. Iako su se neki pokazatelji poboljšali od pandemije, novo izvješće Eurofounda otkriva zabrinjavajuće trendove, uključujući alarmantno zaustavljanje desetljećima dugog pada stope samoubojstava. U ovoj epizodi Eurofoundovih razgovora Mary McCaughey razgovara s višim voditeljem istraživanja Hansom Duboisom o ovom složenom problemu, ističući da loše mentalno zdravlje nesrazmjerno pogađa ranjive skupine.

Čine li klimatske promjene rad u Europi opasnijim?

Klimatske promjene stvarnost su u našem svakodnevnom životu u Europi. Radnici doživljavaju učinke klimatskih promjena i politike klimatskih promjena na mnogo načina, izravno i neizravno, od rada na vrućini i veće izloženosti UV zračenju, do novih rizika za sigurnost i zdravlje na radu te potrebe za osposobljavanjem i prekvalifikacijom. U ovoj epizodi Eurofoundovih razgovora Mary McCaughey razgovara s istraživačima Eurofounda Agnès Parent-Thirion, Tinom Weber i Jorgeom Cabritom o tome u kojoj mjeri klimatske promjene već utječu na radne uvjete i tržište rada u Europi, o ulozi zelene tranzicije te o tome kako politika može pomoći u zaštiti radnika i radnim mjestima.

Healthy social dialogue for a healthy healthcare sector

The COVID-19 pandemic made us acutely aware of how dependent our society is on certain essential workers. We felt deep gratitude towards workers in healthcare especially, because they worked ceaselessly in often-difficult conditions. But this most valued of sectors is in danger of failing society’s needs in the future because of growing labour shortages. Working conditions in healthcare are increasingly challenging, pushing highly qualified staff out of the sector and deterring new entrants. How to tackle this bleak situation? Social dialogue and collective bargaining played a crucial role in ensuring the effective functioning of hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Could social dialogue be the solution to maintaining and building a health sector workforce for the 3D transition (digitalisation, decarbonisation and the demographic shift)?

How did Europe treat its essential workers?

In this episode of Eurofound Talks Mary McCaughey speaks with Eurofound Research Manager Jorge Cabrita about new research that highlights poor job quality - including high emotional demands, working at high speed and to tight deadlines - among several of the sectors and professions deemed essential, key or critical during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The work-life challenges of women and men

In this episode of Eurofound Talks, recorded for International Women's Day 2023, Mary McCaughey speaks with Eurofound Working Life researchers Jorge Cabrita and Viginta Ivaškaitė-Tamošiūnė about how, when paid and unpaid work are combined, women do eight full-time weeks more work than men per year, and the broader implications of this for society. They also discuss how indicators of work-life balance and work-life conflict differ for women and men, as well as the policy action that can be taken to improve gender equality in Europe.

COVID-19 intensifies emotional demands on healthcare workers

Health professionals – doctors, nurses, nursing assistants, paramedics, ambulance workers – are in the vanguard of the battle against COVID-19. They are the ones dealing with sick people, triaging, testing and treating them. They are the ones confronting suffering and death. While some of their colleagues have already lost their lives in this battle, health professionals worldwide are emphasising the impact the mounting number of COVID-19 cases is having on their mental health.

Rethinking working time in Europe

The results of recent research on working time patterns in the EU constitute a strong plea for working time policies that clearly acknowledge the life course perspective. This means that working time must not only be thought and organised in daily, weekly, monthly and/or yearly terms but also take into full consideration the different stages of our lives.

The importance of collective bargaining in establishing working time in Europe

Nowadays we all know that long or excessive working hours may have serious negative impacts on a person’s health and wellbeing. Eurofound‘s new report 'Working time developments in the 21st century' suggests that if working time standards are mainly left to legislation or to be set unilaterally by employers, people will still tend to work longer hours. On the contrary, if the working time standards are negotiated through collective bargaining, the likely negative impact is less as people tend to work fewer hours on average.
