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.

Institucijų kokybė yra vienas svarbiausių veiksnių siekiant aukštynkryptės ekonominės ir socialinės konvergencijos ES, darantis didžiulį poveikį ekonomikos augimui, pritraukiantis užsienio investicijas, užtikrinantis politikos ir reformų įgyvendinimą ir sėkmingą ES lėšų gavimą. Viešųjų institucijų tinkamumas pagal savo paskirtį yra ypač svarbus dabar, kai įgyvendinama programa „NextGenerationEU“, nes prasta institucijų kokybė gali būti kliūtis siekiant gauti lėšų ir apriboti pačios programos veiksmingumą.

Ensuring greater social protection for self-employed individuals has been the subject of much policy debate in recent years. In 2019, the European Council adopted a recommendation on access to social protection for workers and the self-employed.

Using data from the European Working Conditions Telephone Survey, this report examines the working conditions of different groups of self-employed.

This report investigates three of these challenges: public attitudes towards the newly arrived refugees, integration efforts made at EU and Member State level, and access to public services.
