W niniejszym sprawozdaniu analizuje się rolę dialogu społecznego i rokowań zbiorowych w rozwiązywaniu problemów, z jakimi borykał się sektor lotnictwa cywilnego w czasie pandemii COVID-19. Udział partnerów społecznych w działaniach podejmowanych w celu złagodzenia negatywnych skutków pandemii jest różny w poszczególnych krajach europejskich. Dialog społeczny i rokowania zbiorowe odgrywały znaczącą rolę w większości krajów, podczas gdy w innych miały bardziej ograniczoną rolę.
W niniejszym raporcie przeanalizowano rolę dialogu społecznego i rokowań zbiorowych w rozwiązywaniu problemów stworzonych lub zaostrzonych przez pandemię COVID 19 w sektorze szpitalnym. Zbadano również, czy istniejące procesy dialogu społecznego i rokowań zbiorowych na poziomie krajowym zostały dostosowane w celu sprostania tym nowym wyzwaniom. Badania obejmowały przegląd literatury w celu określenia kontekstu strukturalnych cech sektora szpitalnego oraz analizę inicjatyw politycznych mających na celu zarządzanie kryzysem, realizowanych w krajach UE 27 i Norwegii.
Przedmiotowe sprawozdanie jest realizowane w kontekście trzyletniego projektu pilotażowego (2021–2023) „Rola płacy minimalnej w ustanawianiu powszechnej gwarancji pracy” zleconego Eurofound przez Komisję Europejską. Skupia się na module 3 projektu, w którym to module zbadano płace minimalne i inne formy wynagrodzenia dla osób samozatrudnionych.
Surowe ograniczenia w zakresie zdrowia publicznego wprowadzone przez rządy w 2020 r. w celu opanowania pandemii COVID 19 gwałtownie zmieniły życie zawodowe i nadal kształtowały je w ciągu dwóch kolejnych lat. W okresie od marca do listopada 2021 r. w 36 krajach przeprowadzono ponad 70 000 wywiadów w ramach europejskiego telefonicznego badania warunków pracy (EWCTS), wysokiej jakości badania opartego na prawdopodobieństwie. Celem było stworzenie szczegółowego obrazu życia zawodowego Europejczyków w tym wyjątkowym czasie.
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.
W sprawozdaniu przeanalizowano, jak zmieniło się zaufanie obywateli do instytucji – w tym rządów krajowych, UE, jednostek naukowych i mediów – podczas pandemii COVID-19 w latach 2020 i 2021. Przeanalizowano również rolę mediów, w szczególności związek między korzystaniem z mediów społecznościowych a zaufaniem oraz skutkami informacji wprowadzających w błąd (są to zarówno informacje nieprawidłowe, jak i wprowadzające w błąd) oraz dezinformacji (czyli umyślnie wprowadzających w błąd) w okresie kryzysu.
Jakość instytucjonalna jest kluczowym czynnikiem w osiąganiu pozytywnej konwergencji gospodarczej i społecznej w UE, odgrywając zasadniczą rolę w rozwoju gospodarki, przyciąganiu inwestycji zagranicznych, zapewnianiu realizacji polityk i reform oraz skutecznym dostępie do funduszy UE. Zdolność instytucji publicznych do realizacji celów jest obecnie szczególnie istotna przy realizacji programu NextGenerationEU, ponieważ niska jakość instytucjonalna może uniemożliwić dostęp do funduszy i osłabić skuteczność samego programu.

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.
Europejskie rynki pracy odnotowały znaczne ożywienie po pandemii COVID-19. Już pod koniec 2021 r., niewiele ponad 18 miesięcy po wybuchu pandemii, wskaźniki zatrudnienia w UE prawie powróciły do poziomu sprzed kryzysu. W niniejszym sprawozdaniu podsumowano zmiany na rynku pracy w latach 2020 i 2021, z wykorzystaniem danych kwartalnych pochodzących z unijnego badania aktywności ekonomicznej ludności. Jest to ujęcie z perspektywy strukturalnej, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem danych na poziomie sektorów i zawodów oraz kluczowych zmiennych demograficznych: płci i wieku.
This series reports on the new forms of employment emerging across Europe that are driven by societal, economic and technological developments and are different from traditional standard or non-standard employment in a number of ways. This series explores what characterises these new employment forms and what implications they have for working conditions and the labour market.
The European Company Survey (ECS) is carried out every four to five years since its inception in 2004–2005, with the latest edition in 2019. The survey is designed to provide information on workplace practices to develop and evaluate socioeconomic policy in the EU. It covers issues around work organisation, working time arrangements and work–life balance, flexibility, workplace innovation, employee involvement, human resource management, social dialogue, and most recently also skills use, skills strategies and digitalisation.
The European Quality of Life Survey (EQLS) is carried out every four to five years since its inception in 2003, with the latest edition in 2016. It examines both the objective circumstances of people's lives and how they feel about those circumstances and their lives in general. It covers issues around employment, income, education, housing, family, health and work–life balance. It also looks at subjective topics, such as people's levels of happiness and life satisfaction, and perceptions of the quality of society.
This series brings together publications and other outputs of the European Jobs Monitor (EJM), which tracks structural change in European labour markets.

Eurofound's annual review of minimum wages reports on the development of statutory and collectively agreed minimum wages across the EU and the processes through which they were set. The focus of this year’s report is on the impact of high inflation on the setting of minimum wage rates. In addition, new figures on the net value of minimum wages are presented, along with the latest policy-relevant research in the EU Member States and Norway.
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.
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.
Are the policies required to meet the commitments outlined under the EU’s plan for a green transition, the Fit-for-55 package, and the associated budgetary commitments – the Green New Deal – likely to lead to positive or negative employment outcomes by 2030? What types of jobs will be created or destroyed? Will shifts in employment be skewed towards the bottom, middle or top of the job–wage distribution? This report aims to provide answers to these questions, using macro-modelled estimates of the likely impacts of these policies on the structure of employment.
This report explores the potential socio-economic implications of the transition to a climate-neutral economy on different EU regions and groups of people. It adopts a foresight approach to envision potential actions that can be taken to shape the future. After consulting with stakeholders and experts, three scenarios were developed to consider emerging economic and social inequalities at EU and regional level. The report includes policy pointers which outline measures to be taken to achieve a just transition to a sustainable, climate-neutral economy where no one is left behind.
This report explores how environmental performance has converged – or diverged – among the EU Member States since the early 2000s. With environmental goals piling up at the EU level, is it reasonable to expect Member States to adhere to this emerging EU environmental aquis? And, just as importantly, can we expect Member States to reach these goals at the same time? This report attempts to provide answers to these and other questions high on the political agenda.
This report investigates the potential individual and societal impacts of labour market insecurity, focusing on workers with non-permanent contracts, part-time and self-employed workers, and workers who perceive their job as insecure. It explores the impact of labour market insecurities on health and well-being, social exclusion, trust in people and the perception of fairness, as well as trust in institutions. Policies aimed at reducing labour market instability following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic are also presented.
This policy brief aims to contribute to the effective monitoring and evaluation of the European Child Guarantee. Progress at EU level is measured by a monitoring framework which monitors the key areas of the European Child Guarantee: early childhood education and care; education, including school-based activities and at least one healthy meal each school day; healthcare; healthy nutrition; and adequate housing. The policy brief explores trends and disparities in these areas using a convergence analysis, which tracks any disparities among EU Member States.
This report highlights the prevalence of psychosocial risks across countries, sectors and occupations during the later phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. It outlines the specific working conditions that can lead to work-related health problems. In particular, the report investigates the potential pitfalls related to the expansion of telework, the role of job and income insecurity as a psychosocial risk and the phenomenon of adverse social behaviour and discrimination at work. In addition, it offers policy pointers on tackling the increase in work absenteeism due to mental health problems.
