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.
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.
La qualità delle istituzioni è un fattore chiave per conseguire una convergenza economica e sociale verso l’alto nell’UE, svolgere un ruolo fondamentale nella crescita dell’economia, attrarre investimenti esteri, garantire l’attuazione di politiche e riforme e accedere con successo ai fondi dell’UE. Oggigiorno l’idoneità allo scopo delle istituzioni pubbliche è particolarmente importante per l’attuazione del programma NextGenerationEU, in quanto la scarsa qualità istituzionale potrebbe impedire l’accesso ai fondi e compromettere l’efficacia del programma stesso.

This background paper, prepared at the request of the Czech Presidency, aims to contribute to the debate.
This working paper investigates the practical implementation of the European Works Council (EWC) Directive at company level.

I mercati del lavoro europei hanno registrato una forte ripresa dal periodo della crisi COVID-19. Alla fine del 2021, a poco più di 18 mesi dall’inizio della pandemia, i tassi di occupazione nell’UE erano quasi ai livelli pre-crisi. La relazione sintetizza gli sviluppi del mercato del lavoro nel 2020 e nel 2021 in base ai dati trimestrali dell’indagine sulle forze di lavoro dell’UE. Il punto di vista è strutturale, in cui particolare attenzione è rivolta ai dati a livello settoriale e occupazionale nonché alle principali variabili demografiche: il genere e l’età.

La pandemia di COVID-19 ha accentuato le disuguaglianze in molti aspetti delle società europee, comprese le disuguaglianze tra donne e uomini in diversi settori chiave. La presente relazione esamina le disuguaglianze di genere esistenti prima della crisi COVID-19 e descrive l’impatto della pandemia sulle disparità di genere. Analizza inoltre le varie strategie dei governi nazionali in tutta l’UE volte ad affrontare i divari di genere e a prevenirne l’ampliamento durante la pandemia.
Lower levels of health, increasing financial pressure and a significant degree of unmet healthcare: these are the findings of the fifth round of the Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey: Living in a new era of uncertainty – a report that presents an overview of responses from over 200,000 people across all five rounds of the e-survey, which took place from spring 2020 to spring 2022.
In this data story, we use the e-survey data to take a closer look at the impact of the pandemic on mental health.
The platform economy is one of those moving targets, which, despite receiving increasing media and policy attention, has proven difficult to regulate. Given the heterogeneity of employment relationships, business models, types of platform work and cross-border issues, this is not surprising. Yet, in recent years, an increasing number of initiatives and court rulings across EU Member States have sought to address the employment rights and working conditions of platform workers.
