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.
Ataskaitoje aiškinamasi, kaip per COVID-19 pandemiją 2020–2021 m. keitėsi piliečių pasitikėjimas institucijomis, įskaitant nacionalines vyriausybes, ES, mokslo ir žiniasklaidos įstaigas. Analizuojamas žiniasklaidos vaidmuo, visų pirma tai, kaip naudojimasis socialiniais tinklais susijęs su pasitikėjimu, ir neteisingos ar klaidinančios informacijos ir dezinformacijos (sąmoningai apgaulingos informacijos) poveikis krizės laikotarpiu.
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.
The EU Presidency of Czechia organised a high-level conference in October 2022 on ‘Tackling energy poverty: EU approach & sharing best practices’. The event aimed to bring different actors together in order to strengthen the dialogue on possible solutions on how to further tackle energy poverty in the EU. 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. It explores the challenges faced by existing EWCs and provides examples of solutions identified and remaining issues from the point of view of both workers and management. In addition, the paper looks at how EWCs meet the requirements of the EWC Directive in terms of establishing processes of information and consultation.
Europos darbo rinkos puikiai atsigavo po COVID-19 krizės. 2021 m. artėjant prie pabaigos, praėjus vos daugiau kaip 18 mėnesių nuo pandemijos pradžios, užimtumo lygis ES buvo pasiekęs beveik prieškrizinį lygį. Šioje ataskaitoje, naudojant ES darbo jėgos tyrimo ketvirtinius duomenis, apibendrinami 2020 ir 2021 m. darbo rinkos pokyčiai. Apibendrinimas pateikiamas iš struktūrinės perspektyvos, daugiausia dėmesio skiriant sektoriaus ir profesijos lygmens duomenims ir pagrindiniams – lyties ir amžiaus – demografiniams kintamiesiems.

COVID-19 pandemija išryškino nelygybę daugelyje Europos visuomenių gyvenimo sričių, įskaitant moterų ir vyrų nelygybę keliose pagrindinėse srityse. Šioje ataskaitoje apžvelgiama lyčių nelygybė, buvusi prieš COVID-19 krizę, ir aprašoma, kaip pandemija paveikė lyčių nelygybę. Joje taip pat analizuojami įvairūs Europos Sąjungos nacionalinių vyriausybių politiniai atsakomieji veiksmai, kuriais siekiama mažinti lyčių atotrūkį ir užkirsti kelią jo didėjimui pandemijos metu.
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.

The employment implications (number of jobs by sector, occupation, wage profile, and task content) under various possible scenarios are examined. The scenarios focus on various possible developments in global trade and energy policies and technological progress and run to 2030.
Building on previous work by Eurofound, this report will investigate intergenerational dynamics over time. During the 2008 double-dip recession, worrying intergenerational divides appeared in many Member States, and while some of the economic and social impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is universal, early data suggests disparities across demographic cohorts. Eurofound will examine how different age groups may have been affected in terms of their health, labour market participation, quality of life and financial needs, both in the short term and in the long term.
Adequate, affordable housing has become a matter of great concern, with an alarming number of Europeans with low or lower household incomes unable to access any, especially in capital cities. Housing was a key factor in people’s experience of the COVID-19 pandemic: its quality and level of safety significantly affected how lockdowns and social distancing measures were experienced, with those who had no access to quality housing at higher risk of deteriorating living conditions and well-being.
The COVID-19 pandemic triggered an extraordinary level of provision of social services across the EU. Healthcare and care providers carried much of the burden and, together with essential services, played a crucial role in getting citizens through the crisis. This report explores how public services adapted to the new reality and what role was played by the digital transformation of services. The aim is to contribute to the documentation and analysis of changes in funding, delivery and use of healthcare and social services during the pandemic.
The use of artificial intelligence, advanced robotics and the Internet of Things technologies in the workplace can bring about fundamental changes in work organisation and working conditions. This report analyses the ethical and human implications of the use of these technologies at work by drawing on qualitative interviews with policy stakeholders, input from the Network of Eurofound Correspondents and Delphi expert surveys, and case studies.
This study provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the actors involved in European sectoral social dialogue taking place at cross-sectoral level. 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 this Eurofound’s study on representativeness is to identify the relevant national and European social partner organisations at cross-sectoral level in the EU Member States.
