La presente relazione presenta la ricerca di Eurofound sul telelavoro durante la pandemia di COVID-19 nel 2020 e nel 2021. Esamina i cambiamenti nell’incidenza del telelavoro, soffermandosi sulle condizioni di lavoro dei dipendenti che lavorano da casa e sulle modifiche apportate alla regolamentazione per affrontare le questioni relative a questa modalità di lavoro.
L’indagine Vita, lavoro e COVID-19, inaugurata da Eurofound all’inizio del 2020, mira a rilevare l’impatto della pandemia sul lavoro e sulla vita dei cittadini dell’UE in tutte le sue dimensioni. La quinta tornata dell’indagine di Eurofound, realizzata nella primavera del 2022, fa luce anche su una nuova realtà incerta causata dalla guerra in Ucraina, dai livelli record dell’inflazione e dal forte aumento del costo della vita. Come indagine pilota, la Fondazione europea per la formazione (ETF) ha presentato una versione più breve del questionario in 10 paesi vicini dell’UE.
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.

Questa relazione analizza il ruolo del dialogo sociale e della contrattazione collettiva nell’affrontare le sfide incontrate dal settore dell’aviazione civile durante la pandemia di COVID-19. Il ruolo svolto dalle parti sociali nell’attuazione delle misure introdotte per attenuare gli effetti negativi della pandemia varia da un paese europeo all’altro. Il dialogo sociale e la contrattazione collettiva hanno svolto un ruolo di primo piano nella maggior parte dei paesi, mentre in altri ne hanno avuto uno più limitato.
Questa relazione analizza il ruolo del dialogo sociale e della contrattazione collettiva nell’affrontare le sfide create o esacerbate dalla pandemia COVID-19 nel settore ospedaliero. Inoltre valuta se i processi di dialogo sociale e di contrattazione collettiva esistenti a livello nazionale siano stati adattati per far fronte a queste nuove sfide. La ricerca ha incluso un esame della letteratura per contestualizzare le caratteristiche strutturali del settore ospedaliero e un’analisi delle iniziative politiche di gestione della crisi attuate nell’UE-27 e in Norvegia.
La presente relazione è realizzata nel contesto del progetto pilota triennale (2021-2023), «Ruolo del salario minimo nell’istituzione della Garanzia universale per i lavoratori», commissionato a Eurofound dalla Commissione europea. È incentrata sul modulo 3 del progetto, che esamina i salari minimi e altre forme di retribuzione per i lavoratori autonomi.
Le rigorose restrizioni in materia di sanità pubblica attuate dai governi nel 2020 per controllare la pandemia di COVID-19 hanno improvvisamente cambiato la vita lavorativa e hanno continuato a plasmarla nei due anni successivi. Tra marzo e novembre 2021, oltre 70 000 interviste sono state condotte in 36 paesi nell’ambito dell’indagine telefonica europea sulle condizioni di lavoro (EWCTS), un’indagine di elevata qualità effettuata con campionamento probabilistico. L’obiettivo era fornire un quadro dettagliato della vita lavorativa degli europei in questo periodo eccezionale.

La relazione esamina l’evoluzione della fiducia dei cittadini nelle istituzioni, compresi i governi nazionali, l’UE, la scienza e i media, durante la pandemia di COVID-19 nel 2020 e nel 2021. Viene analizzato il ruolo dei mezzi di comunicazione, in particolare il rapporto tra l’uso dei social media e la fiducia e l’impatto della cattiva informazione (informazioni inesatte o fuorvianti) e della disinformazione (informazioni deliberatamente ingannevoli) durante il periodo di crisi.
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 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 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 analysis also includes the development of a composite indicator and an integrated indicator for all four industrial relations dimensions.
