Verkeert de geestelijke gezondheid in Europa nog steeds in een crisis?

De geestelijke gezondheid in Europa bevindt zich op een cruciaal kruispunt. Hoewel sommige indicatoren sinds de pandemie zijn verbeterd, blijkt uit een nieuw rapport van Eurofound dat er sprake is van zorgwekkende trends, waaronder een alarmerende stopzetting van de decennialange daling van het aantal zelfmoorden. In deze aflevering van Eurofound Talks spreekt Mary McCaughey met senior onderzoeksmanager Hans Dubois over deze complexe kwestie, waarbij ze benadrukt dat een slechte geestelijke gezondheid kwetsbare groepen onevenredig zwaar treft.

Regulating platform work in Europe: A work in progress

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.

Platform work

In this episode of Eurofound Talks Mary McCaughey speaks with researcher Dragoș Adăscăliței about how platform work has developed over the past two decades, the profile of platform workers in Europe, how the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the development of platform work, the opportunities and risks platform work presents for workers, and how to protect platform workers while preserving the opportunities and benefits that are generated by the platform economy.

We need to talk about AI

The advent of AI has far more consequences for how work is organised, performed and valued than any previous technological revolution. In order to make the most of this digital transformation we need inclusive and nuanced policy debates on its employment effects and how to future-proof policies: we need to talk about AI.

The pandemic aggravated labour shortages in some sectors; the problem is now emerging in others

Following the declines in employment rates and working hours across Europe in 2020, economies began to show signs of recovery during the first quarter of 2021. The gradual rekindling of economic activity has led to a surge in demand for workers and reawakened concerns over labour shortages. Difficulty filling vacancies was thought to be among the key factors holding back growth, competitiveness and service delivery in a number of sectors prior to the COVID-19 outbreak. Despite a temporary weakening in demand for labour during the pandemic, this was not the case in all sectors, with some seeing pre-existing shortages worsen.
