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.

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 background paper, prepared at the request of the Czech Presidency, aims to contribute to the debate.
