Inugwaljanza
It-tnaqqis tal-inugwaljanzi għaċ-ċittadini tal-UE u l-promozzjoni ta' konverġenza 'l fuq fil-kundizzjonijiet tal-għajxien huma fuq quddiem nett fl-aġenda politika tal-Kummissjoni Ewropea. Il-fatturi li jwasslu għall-inugwaljanza jistgħu jinkludu s-sess, l-età, id-diżabilità, l-istatus tal-impjieg u ċ-ċittadinanza, b'implikazzjonijiet għall-paga u d-dħul, l-aċċess għas-servizzi tal-benessri, is-saħħa u l-edukazzjoni.

Ritratt mhux uniformi ta' Ewropa li qed tinbidel: Riżultati minn Living and Working in the EU e-survey 2025
Ir-riżultati mill-2025 (it-tmien) rawnd ta' Eurofound's Living and working in the EU e-survey jissuġġerixxu pressjoni ekonomika persistenti u livelli mhux ugwali ta' reżiljenza bejn l-Istati Membri. Minkejja inflazzjoni aktar baxxa u swieq tax-xogħol li jibqgħu relattivament stabbli skont l-indikaturi ewlenin, ir-rispondenti għadhom qed jiffaċċjaw pressjoni finanzjarja sinifikanti, b'firxa dejjem tikber bejn il-gruppi ta' dħul, żieda fl-insigurtà fost il-kera u n-nies ta' età medja, u insigurtà kontinwa fl-akkomodazzjoni, speċjalment fost djar b'dħul baxx u ġenituri waħedhom.Is-saħħa mentali tal-Ewropa għadha fi kriżi?
Is-saħħa mentali fl-Ewropa tinsab f'salib it-toroq kritiku. Filwaqt li xi indikaturi tjiebu mill-pandemija, rapport ġdid tal-Eurofound jiżvela xejriet inkwetanti, inkluż waqfien allarmanti għat-tnaqqis ta' għexieren ta' snin fir-rati ta' suwiċidju. F'dan l-episodju ta 'Eurofound Talks, Mary McCaughey titkellem mal-maniġer tar-riċerka anzjan Hans Dubois dwar din il-kwistjoni kumplessa, u tenfasizza li s-saħħa mentali ħażina qed taffettwa b'mod sproporzjonat gruppi vulnerabbli.A picture of wealth inequality across EU Member States
Wealth inequality across EU Member States has important implications for access to education, healthcare and housing, as well as for people’s ability to actively participate in society.
This article summarises some of the main findings from the recently published report Unequal wealth: Exploring socioeconomic disparities across the EU. It maps wealth inequalities across EU Member States by drawing on data from the European Central Bank’s Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS), covering the period between 2010 and 2021.
L-inugwaljanzi żdiedu f'xi pajjiżi f'dawn l-aħħar għexieren ta' snin, minħabba fatturi bħall-globalizzazzjoni, il-bidla teknoloġika, il-politika tat-tassazzjoni u l-kriżi ekonomika. Dawn l-inugwaljanzi qed ixekklu t-tkabbir ekonomiku u jistgħu jwasslu għal kunflitt soċjali, inaqqsu l-parteċipazzjoni fis-soċjetà u jwasslu għal żieda fl-esklużjoni soċjali.
Il-Pilastru Ewropew tad-Drittijiet Soċjali tal-2017 għandu l-għan li jindirizza l-inugwaljanzi f'oqsma ewlenin u b'hekk isaħħaħ il-Mudell Soċjali Ewropew. Id-dimensjonijiet ewlenin tal-Pilastru huma l-opportunitajiet indaqs u l-aċċess għas-suq tax-xogħol, kundizzjonijiet tax-xogħol ġusti, protezzjoni soċjali adegwata u inklużjoni soċjali.

Economic and social inequalities in Europe in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic had varying impacts on social groups, depending on existing disadvantages, and it was widely believed that it triggered a rise in inequalities across different areas of life. Using indicators from the EU’s Multidimensional Inequality Monitoring Framework (MIMF), this report shows how inequality in the spheres of income, health, employment and education changed between 2010 and 2020. It also examines the main drivers of this change during the pandemic and explores the relationships between government policies in several domains and inequality.

Monitoring convergence in the European Union: Looking backwards to move forward – Upward convergence through crises
Upward convergence lies at the heart of the EU project. Member States and their citizens sign up to be part of the Union, as they expect their membership will lead to balanced economic prosperity and social progress across countries. Increasing disparities between Member States, as happened during the 2008–2013 economic crisis, could be seen as a betrayal of the EU’s promise, and potentially lay the seeds for discontent and disintegration. This flagship report is the culmination of Eurofound’s research into monitoring convergence in the EU, which was initiated in 2017. It describes the shifting dynamics of upward convergence over the period 2008–2019, explores the short-term impact of COVID-19 on European economies and societies, together with its implications for convergence, and discusses the long-term effects of the pandemic and the future of upward economic and social convergence in Europe.

Living, working and COVID-19 (Update April 2021): Mental health and trust decline across EU as pandemic enters another year
The third round of Eurofound's e-survey, fielded in February and March 2021, sheds light on the social and economic situation of people across Europe following nearly a full year of living with COVID-19 restrictions. This report analyses the main findings and tracks ongoing developments and trends across the 27 EU Member States since the survey was first launched in April 2020. It pinpoints issues that have surfaced over the course of the pandemic, such as increased job insecurity due to the threat of job loss, decline in mental well-being levels, erosion of recent gains in gender equality, fall in trust levels vis-à-vis institutions, deterioration of work–life balance and growth of vaccine hesitancy. The results of the survey highlight the need for a holistic approach to support all the groups hit hard by the crisis in order to prevent them from falling further behind.

Wealth distribution and social mobility
This report explores the distribution of household wealth in the EU Member States and analyses the role of wealth in social mobility. Using data from three datasets (the Household Finance and Consumption Survey, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe and the Luxembourg Wealth Study), it focuses on wealth per household member. Wealth composition is compared across social groups and countries, and the role of housing assets in wealth distribution and negative wealth is assessed. The findings show that parental background, including parental wealth, has an impact on educational and wealth mobility. In order to promote equality of opportunities in terms of access to education and housing, the impact of wealth inequalities, including differences in parental wealth, should be counterbalanced. The report also suggests that regularising wealth declaration in the EU could be a way of promoting social justice by minimising hidden wealth and combating tax evasion.

A more equal Europe? Convergence and the European Pillar of Social Rights
The European Pillar of Social Rights is designed to act as a compass for a renewed process of upward convergence among Member States towards better working and living conditions. It is accompanied by a Social Scoreboard to monitor the progress made by Member States. This policy brief presents the results of an investigation into the upward convergence patterns of the headline indicators of the Social Scoreboard and the relationship between convergence and the business cycle from 2008 to 2018. The results show that although the economic crisis that engulfed Europe from 2008 slowed down the convergence of Member States on some indicators, upward convergence on several has been restored, including the indicators on employment and risk of poverty. While the analysis uncovers different dynamics of upward convergence for most indicators, some very stable and some more unstable, few indicators still show a downward trend over the decade.
