Matul l-aħħar għoxrin sena, is-swieq tax-xogħol Ewropej għaddew minn trasformazzjoni sinifikanti, b'żieda sinifikanti f'forom mhux standard ta' impjieg bħal xogħol part-time u temporanju. F'dan l-episodju ta' Eurofound Talks, Mary McCaughey titkellem mal-espert ta' Eurofound Karel Fric biex tesplora l-impjieg u l-kundizzjonijiet tax-xogħol tal-ħaddiema l-iktar vulnerabbli.

L-Ewropa għandha tadatta għall-forza tax-xogħol tagħha li qed tixjieħ

Hekk kif ir-rati tat-twelid tal-kontinent jonqsu u l-popolazzjoni tiegħu tixjieħ, dawk li jfasslu l-politika jiffaċċjaw il-kompitu urġenti li jżommu ħaddiema b'esperjenza u jadattaw il-postijiet tax-xogħol biex jissodisfaw il-ħtiġijiet ta' demografika anzjana.

Kif tista' l-Ewropa tadatta għal forza tax-xogħol li qed tixjieħ? X'impedimenti jiffaċċjaw il-ħaddiema anzjani fuq il-post tax-xogħol? It-teknoloġiji li qed jinbidlu u l-kwalità tal-impjiegi kif qed jinfluwenzaw iż-żamma tal-ħaddiema akbar fl-età fis-suq tax-xogħol? Dan l-episodju għandu l-għan li jwieġeb dawn il-mistoqsijiet fil-kuntest tad-demografija li qed tinbidel fl-Ewropa u l-ħtieġa li x-xogħol isir aktar sostenibbli.

The growth in average (nominal) pay of employees has accelerated in recent years in EU countries after a slump following the economic crisis. Similar developments show up in data on collectively agreed wages. However, higher wage growth figures do not automatically mean that all employees benefit equally.
