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.

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.

Celem było stworzenie szczegółowego obrazu życia zawodowego Europejczyków w tym wyjątkowym czasie.

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.
