Collective bargaining beyond pay: An analysis of collective agreements in selected low-paid sectors

This report analyses and compares the content of 94 collective agreements in three low-paid sectors – manufacture of food, leather, textiles and clothes; residential and social care; and retail – across 11 EU Member States and Norway. The report examines how collective bargaining regulates working conditions beyond wages and how these topics have evolved between 2015 and 2022.

Foundational challenges: The housing struggles of Europe’s youth

Europe faces a housing affordability crisis that impacts all age groups, with particularly pronounced implications for young people. For them, the crisis may have far-reaching consequences, affecting educational and employment opportunities, household composition and formation, and current and future well-being. This report examines the housing situation of the EU population, with a specific focus on young people. It shows that, across several metrics, young people generally experience the housing crisis more acutely than older cohorts.

Beyond the twin transitions: Measuring EU Member States’ multidimensional performance with composite indicators

This research report presents a holistic, multidimensional framework for measuring the economic and social performance of EU Member States, including in terms of their EU’s green and digital twin transitions, through composite indicators. Extending the established Landesmann and Székely model, this study incorporates six key dimensions – economic, social, institutional, environmental, digital, and social cohesion and trust – into the model to capture the complex, interdependent dynamics of socioecological progress.

Equal value, equal pay: Concepts, mechanisms and implementation towards gender pay equity

This report presents an in-depth compilation of evidence and analysis on how the EU’s principle of equal pay for the same work and work of equal value can be implemented in practice, with a particular focus on work of equal value – thus, pay equity. According to this principle, when two jobs can be regarded as equivalent in terms of skills, effort, responsibilities and working conditions, they should be remunerated equally. But how can such equivalence be established?

Representativeness of the European social partner organisations: Ports sector – 2025

This study regarding the ports sector provides information allowing for an assessment of the representativeness of the organisations involved in the European sectoral social dialogue committee for this sector. Their relative representativeness legitimises their right to be consulted 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 sector.

Incentivise, not restrict: Climate policy views in the Living and Working in Europe e-survey

As the EU moves toward carbon neutrality, the Just Transition Mechanism seeks to ensure this process is fair. But are people on board? The e-survey findings show that several other factors beyond environmental concern are at play here, especially when policies directly affect people’s everyday lives.

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.

Huisvesting

Toegang tot betaalbare en adequate huisvesting is een groot probleem in veel lidstaten, in hun steden en regio's, verergerd door de crises van de afgelopen jaren. Mensen die te maken hebben met problemen met de betaalbaarheid van huisvesting lopen het risico op uitsluiting, onzekerheid over het feit dat ze hun huis moeten verlaten, andere dingen niet kunnen betalen vanwege de hoge huisvestingskosten en moeten blijven in woningen die niet geschikt zijn voor hun behoeften. Met stijgende kosten van levensonderhoud komt blootstelling aan energiearmoede voor gezinnen met lagere inkomens die het zich niet kunnen veroorloven om hun huis voldoende warm te houden of om aan huur- of hypotheekbetalingen te voldoen. Tegelijkertijd neemt dakloosheid in een grote meerderheid van de lidstaten toe.
