Pubblicato: 13 April 2014

This report gives an overview of working conditions, job quality, workers’ health and job sustainability in the education sector (NACE 85). It is based mostly on the fifth European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS), which gathers data on working conditions and the quality of work across 34 European countries. Additional information on the structural characteristics of the sector is derived from Eurostat data. The sector includes all educational activities: pre-primary, primary, secondary and higher education, as well as other educational activities and educational support activities. The fifth EWCS contains responses from 3,157 workers in this sector. Read more information on other sectors.

Working conditions and job quality: Comparing sectors in Europe - Overview report

This report and the accompanying 33 sectoral information sheets aim to capture the diversity prevalent across sectors in Europe in terms of working conditions and job quality. The information sheets indicate how workers in each sector compare to the European average for all workers, as well as highlighting differences and similarities among different groups of workers. The report pinpoints trends across sectors in areas such as working time and work–life balance, work organisation, skills and training, employee representation and the psychosocial and physical environment. It identifies sectors that score particularly well or particularly poorly in terms of job quality and sheds light on differences between sectors in terms of health and well-being.
