Foundational challenges: The housing struggles of Europe’s youth

For them, the crisis may have far-reaching consequences, affecting educational and employment opportunities, household composition and formation, and current and future well-being. This report examines the housing situation of the EU population, with a specific focus on young people. It shows that, across several metrics, young people generally experience the housing crisis more acutely than older cohorts.

Beyond the twin transitions: Measuring EU Member States’ multidimensional performance with composite indicators

This research report presents a holistic, multidimensional framework for measuring the economic and social performance of EU Member States, including in terms of their EU’s green and digital twin transitions, through composite indicators. Extending the established Landesmann and Székely model, this study incorporates six key dimensions – economic, social, institutional, environmental, digital, and social cohesion and trust – into the model to capture the complex, interdependent dynamics of socioecological progress.

Equal value, equal pay: Concepts, mechanisms and implementation towards gender pay equity

This report presents an in-depth compilation of evidence and analysis on how the EU’s principle of equal pay for the same work and work of equal value can be implemented in practice, with a particular focus on work of equal value – thus, pay equity. According to this principle, when two jobs can be regarded as equivalent in terms of skills, effort, responsibilities and working conditions, they should be remunerated equally. But how can such equivalence be established?

Incentivise, not restrict: Climate policy views in the Living and Working in Europe e-survey

As the EU moves toward carbon neutrality, the Just Transition Mechanism seeks to ensure this process is fair. But are people on board? The e-survey findings show that several other factors beyond environmental concern are at play here, especially when policies directly affect people’s everyday lives.

As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect on what was a momentous year for Eurofound as we celebrated our 50th anniversary. This year was not only about honouring our history, but also about rejuvenation; we produced pivotal new research and facilitated important dialogue on the emerging challenges facing citizens across Europe. 2026 will be a year of new plans, goals and priorities, but for the moment, we wish all staff and friends of Eurofound a restful festive season and a Happy New Year!

Eurofound season's greetings and happy new year

La salute mentale in Europa è ancora in crisi?

La salute mentale in Europa si trova a un bivio critico. Sebbene alcuni indicatori siano migliorati dopo la pandemia, un nuovo rapporto di Eurofound rivela tendenze preoccupanti, tra cui un allarmante arresto del calo decennale dei tassi di suicidio. In questo episodio di Eurofound Talks, Mary McCaughey parla con Hans Dubois, senior research manager, di questa complessa questione, sottolineando che la cattiva salute mentale sta colpendo in modo sproporzionato i gruppi vulnerabili.

Alloggiamento

L'accesso ad alloggi adeguati e a prezzi accessibili è una delle principali preoccupazioni in molti Stati membri, nelle loro città e regioni, aggravata dalle crisi degli ultimi anni. Le persone che hanno problemi di accessibilità abitativa sono a rischio di esclusione, insicurezza nel dover lasciare la propria casa, non essere in grado di permettersi altre cose a causa degli alti costi abitativi e dover rimanere in alloggi inadatti alle loro esigenze. Con l'aumento del costo della vita arriva l'esposizione alla povertà energetica per le famiglie a basso reddito che non sono in grado di permettersi di mantenere le loro case adeguatamente calde o di far fronte alle rate dell'affitto o del mutuo. Allo stesso tempo, il numero dei senzatetto è in aumento nella grande maggioranza degli Stati membri.
