Megatrends, such as digitalisation, globalisation, demographic change and climate change, are transforming the world of work, with knock-on effects for working conditions and job quality. Against this background, this report examines working conditions and job quality from a sectoral perspective, using data from the 2015 European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS). The report first outlines the sectoral characteristics underpinning employment – economic structure, demographics, occupational level and employment status. It then goes on to focus on four main topics: changing tasks, skills, training and employability; non-standard employment and employment security; health, well-being and flexible work organisation; and employee representation and voice. Differences in working conditions arising from age, gender, occupation and education level are taken into account. According to the analysis, developing measures to address relevant issues such as skills development, job security and work intensity should be a priority for policy. The data also show that the presence of employee representation and voice is key to improving the situation of employees.

As megatendências, como a digitalização, a globalização, as alterações demográficas e as alterações climáticas, estão a transformar o mundo do trabalho, com repercussões nas condições de trabalho e na qualidade do emprego. Neste contexto, o presente relatório analisa as condições de trabalho e a qualidade do emprego numa perspetiva setorial, utilizando dados do Inquérito Europeu sobre as Condições de Trabalho (IECT) de 2015. O relatório começa por descrever as características setoriais subjacentes ao emprego — estrutura económica, demografia, nível profissional e estatuto profissional. Em seguida, centra-se em quatro temas principais: evolução das tarefas e das competências, formação e empregabilidade; emprego atípico e segurança do emprego; saúde, bem-estar e organização flexível do trabalho; e representação e voz dos trabalhadores. São tidas em conta as diferenças em termos de condições de trabalho decorrentes da idade, do género, da profissão e do nível de formação. De acordo com a análise, o desenvolvimento de medidas para abordar questões relevantes, como o desenvolvimento de competências, a segurança do emprego e a intensidade do trabalho, deve ser uma prioridade política. Os dados mostram igualmente que a presença de uma representação e de uma voz dos trabalhadores é fundamental para melhorar a sua situação.

This report presents the results of research conducted largely prior to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Europe in February 2020. For this reason, the results do not fully take account of the outbreak.
A investigação realizada antes da saída do Reino Unido da União Europeia, em 31 de janeiro de 2020, e posteriormente publicada, pode incluir dados relativos aos 28 Estados-Membros da UE. Após esta data, a investigação apenas tem em conta os 27 Estados-Membros da UE (UE28 menos o Reino Unido), salvo especificação em contrário.
Eurofound’s European Working Conditions Survey (EWCS) paints a wide-ranging picture of Europe at work across countries, occupations, sectors and age groups. This series consists of findings from the EWCS 2015, the sixth edition of the survey. The survey was first carried out in 1990.
