Az Eurofound által először 2020 elején elindított „Élet, munka és Covid19” felmérés célja, hogy megragadja a világjárványnak az uniós polgárok munkájára és életére gyakorolt széles körű hatását. Az Eurofound felmérésének 2022 tavaszán lebonyolított ötödik fordulója az ukrajnai háború, a rekordmagas infláció és a megélhetési költségek meredek emelkedése által előidézett új, bizonytalan valóságra is fényt derít. Az Európai Képzési Alapítvány (ETF) az Európai Unióval (EU) szomszédos 10 országban kísérleti jelleggel a kérdőív rövidebb változatán alapuló felmérést bonyolított le.
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.
A jelentés azt elemzi, milyen szerepet játszott a szociális párbeszéd és a kollektív tárgyalás a légi közlekedési ágazatban a Covid19-világjárvány alatt tapasztalt nehézségek kezelésében. A szociális partnerek az egyes európai országokban változó mértékben vettek részt a világjárvány negatív hatásainak mérséklésére bevezetett intézkedésekben. A szociális párbeszéd és a kollektív tárgyalás a legtöbb országban meghatározó szerepet játszott, másokban viszont csak korlátozottan kapott szerepet.
A jelentés elemzi a szociális párbeszéd és a kollektív tárgyalás szerepét a Covid19-világjárvány által a kórházi ágazatban előidézett vagy súlyosbított nehézségek kezelésében. Azt is megvizsgálja, hogy kellett-e változtatni az országos szinten meglévő szociális párbeszéden és kollektív tárgyalási folyamatokon ahhoz, hogy ezeket az új kihívásokat kezelni tudják.
Ezt a jelentést „A minimálbér szerepe az egyetemes munkaügyi garancia létrehozásában” című hároméves kísérleti projekt (2021–2023) keretében az Európai Bizottság megbízásából az Eurofound készítette. Középpontjában a projekt 3. modulja áll, amely az önfoglalkoztatóknak járó minimálbéreket és egyéb díjazási formákat vizsgálja. Az önfoglalkoztatók bizonyos csoportjait érintő, kihívásokkal teli körülmények miatt egyes tagállamok jogszabályban határozták meg az önfoglalkoztatók kiválasztott kategóriáinak járó minimálbért, illetve ilyen javaslatra irányuló megbeszéléseket folytatnak.
A kormányok által 2020-ban a Covid19-világjárvány megfékezése érdekében bevezetett szigorú közegészségügyi korlátozások hirtelen megváltoztatták a munkakörülményeket, és azokat az azt követő két évben is tovább formálták. 2021 márciusa és novembere között 36 országban több mint 70 000 interjúra került sor a valószínűségen alapuló, jó minőségű adatokat biztosító európai telefonos munkakörülmény-felmérés (EWCTS) keretében. A felmérés célja az volt, hogy részletes képet adjon az európaiaknak ebben a kivételes időszakban a munkával töltött életéről.
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.
A jelentés azt vizsgálja, hogy a Covid19-világjárvány során 2020-ban és 2021-ben hogyan alakult a polgárok körében az intézményekbe – többek között a nemzeti kormányokba, az EU-ba, a tudományba és a médiába – vetett bizalom. A jelentés elemzi egyrészt a média szerepét, különösen ami a közösségi média használata és a bizalom közötti kapcsolatot illeti, másrészt a félretájékoztatás (a pontatlan vagy megtévesztő információk) és a dezinformáció (a szándékosan megtévesztő információk) által a válság időszakában gyakorolt hatásokat.
Az intézmények minősége kulcsfontosságú tényező az EU-n belüli, felfelé irányuló gazdasági és társadalmi konvergencia megvalósításában, egyben alapvető szerepet játszik a gazdaság bővítésében, a külföldi befektetések vonzásában, a szakpolitikák és reformok végrehajtásának biztosításában, valamint az uniós forrásokhoz való sikeres hozzáférésben is.
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 survey is designed to provide information on workplace practices to develop and evaluate socioeconomic policy in the EU. It covers issues around work organisation, working time arrangements and work–life balance, flexibility, workplace innovation, employee involvement, human resource management, social dialogue, and most recently also skills use, skills strategies and digitalisation.
The European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) is carried out every four to five years since its inception in 2003, with the latest edition in 2016. It examines both the objective circumstances of people's lives and how they feel about those circumstances and their lives in general. It covers issues around employment, income, education, housing, family, health and work–life balance. It also looks at subjective topics, such as people's levels of happiness and life satisfaction, and perceptions of the quality of society.
This series brings together publications and other outputs of the European Jobs Monitor (EJM), which tracks structural change in European labour markets. The EJM analyses shifts in the employment structure in the EU in terms of occupation and sector and gives a qualitative assessment of these shifts using various proxies of job quality – wages, skill-levels, etc.
Eurofound's European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) examines both the objective circumstances of European citizens' lives and how they feel about those circumstances and their lives in general. This series consists of outputs from the EQLS 2016, the fourth edition of the survey. The survey was first carried out in 2003.
Eurofound’s European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) paints a wide-ranging picture of Europe at work across countries, occupations, sectors and age groups. This series consists of findings from the EWCS 2015, the sixth edition of the survey. The survey was first carried out in 1990.

Eurofound’s European Company Survey (ECS) maps and analyses company policies and practices which can have an impact on smart, sustainable and inclusive growth, as well as the development of social dialogue in companies. This series consists of outputs from the first edition of the survey carried out in 2004–2005 under the name European Establishment Survey on Working Time and Work-Life Balance.
Building on previous work by Eurofound, this report will investigate intergenerational dynamics over time. During the 2008 double-dip recession, worrying intergenerational divides appeared in many Member States, and while some of the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is universal, early data suggests disparities across demographic cohorts. Eurofound will examine how different age groups may have been affected in terms of their health, labour market participation, quality of life and financial needs, both in the short term and in the long term.
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 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.
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.
